Oscillator provides tight stability in battery-powered applications
The MCXO (Microcomputer Controlled Crystal Oscillator) employs a
high-stability overtone SC-cut crystal and microcomputer-controlled
compensation instead of an oven to achieve (+/-)3 x 10-8 -ppm
stability. Thus, with a maximum power consumption of only 75 mW, this
oscillator is well suited for battery-powered applications where power
requirements of an ovenized oscillator are prohibitive. It is also suited
for applications where fast warmup and high-accuracy are required.
Standard MCCO output frequencies are 10 MHz and 1 kHz; other frequencies
are optional. The MCCO is available in commercial, industrial, and
military versions, including radiation-tolerant designs for military and
space applications. (Commercial version, from $500 ea/500–stock.) Q-Tech
