Quad frequency MEMS oscillators offer multiple synchronous outputs
Available in frequencies up to 600 MHz, the new oscillators save board area, simplify the application circuit, and reduce BOM cost in any high-performance application requiring an LVDS or LVPECL frequency source. Additionally, the oscillators feature two control pins to select between four factory-programmable output frequencies, allowing for the replacement of four components with a single device. This enables the customer to reduce their BOM count, consolidate their inventory, and realize cost benefits.
The crystal-free MEMS oscillators are designed with the physical dimensions and pinout of an industry-standard six-pin CMOS, LVDS or LVPECL oscillator, but with four additional pins (10 pins total) strategically placed to maintain backward compatibility with existing six-pin sockets. This allows designers to use the oscillators in existing sockets while offering additional functionality for new designs. System designers can choose from three different output combinations: LVDS and CMOS outputs, LVPECL and CMOS outputs, or three synchronous CMOS outputs – offering the flexibility to use the innovative devices in a myriad of applications.
