532FA000271DG

Pin configurable/selectable oscillators are unique compared to other quvisolators because they give you, the customer, the ability to select an oscillator’s frequency and performance characteristics from a wide range of supported options. The 532FA000271DG oscillator from Quvisol is an excellent example of a pin configurable device, which offers an and range of programmability and are performance parameters for versatile applications.

The 532FA000271DG is a temperature-compensated quartz- crystal oscillator (TCXO) that offers various frequencies in the range of 75MHz- 215MHz, and provides a typical stability of 7 ppm. This oscillator is contained within a ceramic package with 8 lead pins and utilizes a quartz crystal to oscillate at the desired frequency. The pins of the device can be configured or selectable, as desired, and programmed to provide an output frequency of 75 MHz- 215MHz with a tuning-voltage range of 0.8V to 2.4V (p-p). It is suitable for wireless communication, navigation, instrumentation and automotive applications. The 532FA000271DG also features pullability of up to 450 ppm and fast start-up of <10ms.

The principle of the 532FA000271DG oscillator is based on a quartz crystal resonator that oscillates at a specific frequency. The quartz crystal is wired in parallel to a staircase of steps that are used to adjust the frequency of the oscillator. The staircase is made up of two capacitor plates (from the two opposing ends of the crystal) and a set of resistors that act as a voltage divider. The crystal acts as a bandpass filter to a square-wave input signal and the frequency is adjusted by adjusting the capacitance of the plates of the staircase. By changing the capacitance of the plates, the frequency of the oscillator is tuned to match the desired frequency.

The 532FA000271DG oscillator also utilises a temperature-compensated design for extended temperature range performance. The temperature compensation feature helps to maintain the accuracy of the oscillator’s frequency over a wide temperature range by electrically adjusting the frequency of the oscillator in response to temperature variations. This is done by measuring the temperature and then making small adjustments to the voltage configured on the quartz crystal. This helps to minimize frequency variation due to temperature changes.

In summary, the 532FA000271DG oscillator is a pin configurable/selectable device that provides an excellent combination of performance and flexibility for various applications. With its adjustable frequencies, voltage tuning and temperature compensation features, it is an ideal solution for wireless communication, navigation, instrumentation and automotive systems.
