416F406XXAST

The 416F406XXAST is a high performance voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) from Rakon, a New Zealand-based high technology leader. It is an innovative, state-of-the-art oscillator that combines the power of high frequency, low phase-noise, and accurate synchronization. The 416F406XXAST provides industry-leading performance and is well suited to a wide range of applications, such as telecommunications, digital broadcast, GPS, and cellular.

The 416F406XXAST is designed for frequency tuning in applications requiring higher frequency stability than is available from fixed frequency sources. The device has an operating temperature range from -30 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius and utilizes a low-voltage-swing input/output (I/O) compatible with a wide range of microcomputers, FPGAs and ASICs. The VCXO also features an improved power dissipation performance, allowing for greater power savings in high-volume applications.

The 416F406XXAST utilizes a thin film resonator to achieve its outstanding frequency-tuning performance. The resonator is constructed with a high quality quartz crystal that is cut at precise angles and held in place with two plates. This construction helps improve the vibration characteristics, meaning that the VCXO can achieve even higher levels of frequency stability over a larger temperature range. The thin film resonator is also able to tune in extremely small frequency increments, meaning that the oscillator can fine-tune frequencies with incredible accuracy.

The 416F406XXAST has a wide range of uses for high-precision synchronization in baseband and radio frequencies of up to 40MHz or beyond. The VCXO can synchronize devices such as PDAs, digital still cameras, cellular phones and many others. It can also be used in numerous communication and point-to-point applications, including Ethernet devices, Wi-Fi networks and satellite links. The VCXO\'s compact size and low profile make it ideal for miniature applications in space-constrained environments.

In addition to providing excellent frequency tuning and synchronization capabilities, the 416F406XXAST is also highly robust and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. It is built with a rugged housing material which prevents water ingress and ensures operational reliability in extreme temperature and vibration environments. The device is MIL-STD-1275D compliant and can handle up to 3000VDC to ground, allowing it to be used in high-voltage applications.

The 416F406XXAST is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise frequency control and synchronization, such as those found in telecommunications and data communications systems. Its combination of high frequency, low phase-noise, and accurate frequency tuning capabilities make it a perfect fit in demanding applications requiring high performance, low power consumption, and exceptional ruggedness.
