Shocking oscillator
02 February 2010
Precision Devices’ clock oscillator targets extreme applications.
The OC8037 miniature clock oscillator from Precision Devices is targeted at extreme temperature and harsh environment applications. Extreme conditions are ably supported by the oscillator which provides an operating temperature range including -40°C to +85°C, -55°C to +125°C and additional options to support even higher operating temperatures.
Aiding the clock oscillators’ suitability for harsh environments, the OC8037 also offers a high shock resistance of 5000g (at 0.3ms, ½ sine) and a high vibration resistance of 10Hz to 2000Hz at 10g.
The oscillator offers an operating frequency range of up to 160MHz with a square wave HC-CMOS/AC-CMOS output, a frequency stability of +/-50ppm output and two supply voltage options: 3.3V and 5V.
“The new OC8037 oscillator has a wide range of potential applications and is also employed in some very niche industries such as downhole well boring and abyssal geological survey equipment,” commented Chris Emmerson, Business Development Manager for Precision Devices. “The most significant feature of the new oscillator is the number of operating temperature ranges supported including its ability to perform in extreme temperature environments.”
Typical applications for the oscillator include avionics and aerospace systems such as airborne computers, cockpit instrumentation and displays, automotive systems and medical equipment. The new miniature clock oscillator is available in a RoHS compliant 4-pin SMD ceramic package with dimensions of 8.0mm x 3.7mm x 2.0mm.
