416F38013ITR

Crystals are a special class of materials whose structure and chemical composition give them distinct electrical, optical, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. They are also known as piezoelectric, pyroelectric and ferroelectric materials. The most commonly used crystals are silicon, sapphire and zirconia, although other materials, such as Frequency Control Devices (FCDs), can also be used.

The 416F38013ITR is a high performance, Frequency Control Device (FCD) that is designed for use in demanding applications. It is ideal for applications requiring stable frequency control with minimal drift, low power consumption and high reliability. The device utilizes a Copper-insulated Mono-Polymer Plug system to provide superior frequency regulation and stability, while maximizing power efficiency and reliability.

In operation, the 416F38013ITR operates in two distinct modes. In the first mode, referred to as the ‘tuning’ mode, it uses an actively monitored Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) to adjust its output frequency by adjusting the applied voltage. The frequency is then matched to the desired target frequency. In the second mode, referred to as the ‘lock-in’ mode, the VCO is inhibited and the output frequency is maintained by virtue of a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) loop filtering. This ensures that the frequency remains constant over time.

The 416F38013ITR has a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, devices and systems for digital signal processing, radio frequency/microwave systems, flight navigation, digital audio and remote sensing. It is designed to operate at frequencies from 0 MHz to 13.5 GHz, making it an ideal choice for applications that require versatility and precision frequency control. Additionally, the 416F38013ITR is RoHS Compliant and offers a variety of control options, including RF detect, differential power detect, soft frequency synchronization and output voltage control.

The 416F38013ITR offers superior performance and reliability, as well as superior frequency stability and accuracy. Its robust construction, which includes a heavy-duty ceramic capacitor and a rugged connector body, ensures excellent product durability. Additionally, the high efficiency of the VCO ensures minimal power consumption and the output frequency remains constant over temperature changes. Overall, the 416F38013ITR provides a reliable and high-performance FCD solution that is perfect for a variety of applications.
