Improving System Performance and Frequency Stability with New VCXOs Oscillators provide a consistent and stable timing reference for an electronic system or for a module(s) within the system. In some applications, the output frequency of the oscillator needs to be adjusted after the system is in operation. System designers can use a... More
For several decades, quartz crystals have been used as the basis for a number of timing solutions. These timing devices are available in the form of quartz crystal oscillators and resonators.
From processors to oscillators, performance improvement at the component level enables improvement at the system level. This translates to more features, higher performance and increased speed for end users of both consumer products and enterprise systems.
A voltage controlled oscillator is required to operate the clock functions that control the computer processes. It is also used for transmitting electronic signals to stationary as well as wireless devices such as radios that are used for receiving and transmission purposes, modems, routers, game consoles, and televisions.
Temperature stability is a primary requisite in critical applications such as wireless systems, synchronous telecom and wireless networking, precision instrumentation and other applications that rely on frequency for timing executions. These critical applications require a precision reference timing source that maintains the same... More
The technological era has given birth to numerous electronic gadgets. One of the most popular electronic devices ever invented is the clock. Eventually technology enabled the use of electo-mechanical resonators to generate a reliable, accurate frequency for all clocks.
Greater Flexibility in Clock Oscillators for Enhanced A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that is used for creating electrical signals of an accurate frequency. These frequencies are required for providing stable clock signals in digital integrated circuits and also for the purpose of stabilizing frequencies for radio... More
The digital electronics era introduced a fundamental change in electronic circuit operation – most circuits were now being clocked synchronously. The clock oscillator became more important as it provided the reference timing to all these circuits.
A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCXO) is a component for reference timing used in virtually all wireless systems. A VCXO has the capability to fine-tune the output frequency within a certain range, even after the device is already populated in a system.
