CTS Electronic Components has announced its new and improved 9 x 14 OCXO product family. The enhanced SC- Cut version Model 149 and the new AT-Cut Model 150 utilize a miniature size oven- controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) design that operates at temperatures suitable for commercial and industrial use. CTS will introduce the new precision OCXO along with the company’s other cutting-edge offerings at booth number 2930, International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Phoenix, Arizona on May 19 - 21, 2015.
The Model 149 operates from 10 to 50 MHz with a supply of 3.3 V or 5 V and steady state power consumption of 0.5 W at 25°C. It has an SC-Cut crystal design that offers cost savings and delivers performance advantages that improve signal sources for telecommunications switching and wireless communication applications. It offers stability as tight as ±10 ppb over -40°C to +85°C temperature range and phase noise at -154 dBc/Hz offset 100 kHz from the carrier (at Fo=10MHz). The product comes in a small 9x14 mm surface mount footprint for design engineers in need of more board space and HCMOS output logic. TheModel 150 offers an economic device that meets ±100 ppb over -40°C to +85°C and phase noise at -152 dBc/Hz offset 100 kHz from the carrier (at Fo=10MHz). It provides a competitive alternative solution to TCXOs with respect to wander performance and micro jumps during steady state operation.
