Abracon has announced the introduction of ABCM-60, a series of GPS Disciplined Oscillators (GPSDO) that are designed to merge the stability of an Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) with the precise timing signals from GNSS satellites, thereby generating highly accurate and reliable timing references. This module is very essential for applications requiring precise timing and frequency control, such as in remote or rural areas where GNSS satellites provide reliable timing signals that LoRa or other cellular technologies simply cannot support.
The ABCM-60 Series clock module includes a GNSS receiver for precise time information as indicated by the lock pin feature, and holdover operation to maintain accuracy when GNSS signals are unavailable. They deliver CMOS output waveforms at a frequency of 10 MHz and support a 1PPS signal. They provide a frequency stability of ±0.2 ppb (vs. temperature) and a holdover stability of ±1.5 µs for 24 hours.
These REACH/RoHS-compliant GPSDO’s can be controlled using UART interfaces and require a positive supply voltage of 5 V (DC). They are available in surface-mount packages that measure 60 x 60 mm and are ESD-sensitive.
Specific applications where these GPSDOs can be used include navigation, industrial control, instrumentation, broadcasting, wired or wireless communication, tracking, and financial trading.
