Precision Solutions’ Press Release
Click here to go there now
Abracon has expanded its product portfolio to address the strategic needs of its customers, requiring Precision Frequency References. The AST3 series offers Stratum-III stability of ±4.60 ppm; over all operating conditions including Aging for 20-years in the field. Offered in a space saving, low profile (7x5x2 mm) Seam-Sealed Hermetic package, AST3 offers exceptional frequency stability of ±0.37 ppm max. over -40ºC to +85ºC. Available with either CMOS or Clipped Sinewave Output, AST3 is offered at standard frequencies in the 10MHz to 26MHz range.
Customers requiring higher precision but are constrained by available surface area can incorporate the exceptional performance of Abracon’s Ovenized AOCXS devices. Offered in a 25.4 x 22.1 x 15.3 True SMT – RoHS Compliant Reflow-able Package; AOCXS offers frequency precision of ±30 ppb over -30ºC to +70ºC; while maintaining excellent close-in Phase Noise (-135 dBc/Hz Typ. @ 100Hz from the carrier). AOCXS is offered at standard frequencies in the 5MHz to 40MHz range.
Systems requiring excellent receiver sensitivity can leverage the exceptional close-in phase noise of the AVSS series of SMT VCXO’s. These devices are offered in industry standard 9*14 package, optimized to drive 50Ω systems and generate minimal Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). These devices eliminate the need for an auxiliary tuned stage to drive 50Ω loads. Offering Pure Sinewave output, AVSS series is configured with optimal biasing techniques, preserving current drain. With an “oven like” close-in phase noise of -135dBc/Hz @ 1kHz offset and -155dBc/Hz floor for a 28MHz carrier, the ±40 ppm available pull-ability makes the AVSS a unique VCXO solution.
