IQD Frequency Products has introduced the IQOV-162 Series - A new compact OCXO that is available in a standard package measuring just 14 x 9 mm and with a height of only 6.5 mm. This OCXO series provides a frequency stability down to ±5 ppb (parts per billion) over its full industrial temperature range from –40 to 85 degrees C.
In addition to this exceptional size/performance ratio the new model is available in a very wide frequency range from 10 to 100 MHz. Operating from a 3.3 V supply voltage, the IQOV-162 consumes 600 mA of current during warm up and takes less than 5 minutes to be within <100ppb of the final specification and 300 mA max at steady state @25 degrees C.
The output can be specified as either HCMOS, 15 pF load or Sinewave, into a 50 Ohms load. As well as offering phase noise performance better than -150 dBc/Hz @ 1kHz offset, ageing performance is also extremely good at less than ±500 ppb per year.
Variants can be specified to include voltage control to enable the frequency to be adjusted for correction over time and remotely with a pullability range of ±3 ppm to ±8 ppm.
The IQOV-162 series is primarily designed to be used in applications such as CDMA base stations, femtocells, optical networking, 3G & 4G LTE, Ethernet, SoNET/SDH, ATM backplanes, SATA and satellite communications, or whenever a very low profile OCXO is required.
