Pin Configurable/Selectable Oscillators, or PCSOs, are a family of electronic frequency control devices used to generate a clock signal or to frequency-lock a signal oscillator to a higher-frequency reference. The 532MB000290DGR belongs to this family, and it is a highly flexible system-on-chip (SoC) solution containing an oscillator, a non-volatile memory, an amplifier, a digital frequency divider and the necessary passive components.
Application Field
The 532MB000290DGR is ideal for timing applications involving mission-critical systems in various fields such as communication, digital signal processing, high-performance computing, multimedia, automotive, and system management. It offers a low-power, low cost and low jitter performance solution with its digital interface that makes setup adjustments and frequency changes very simple. In addition, its wide frequency range, high stability, low noise, and low EMI offer flexibility to designers working in diverse end applications. Additionally, the 532MB000290DGR can be used as a reference clock in frequency synthesizers, such as cellular base stations and wireless receivers.
Working Principle
The 532MB000290DGR oscillator contains a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a frequency divider. The frequency divider is controlled by a digital interface, which allows the frequency of the oscillator to be changed. The frequency of the oscillator is determined by the frequency of the reference clock, which is typically a crystal oscillator. The VCO converts the frequency of the reference clock to a higher or lower frequency, depending on its settings. The frequency divider divides the output of the VCO by a certain factor, and then the output is used as the clock signal.
The 532MB000290DGR oscillator provides a flexible and reliable way to generate a clock signal or to frequency-lock a signal oscillator. It offers low power consumption, low cost, and low jitter performance, which are essential in today’s applications. With its digital interface and wide frequency range, it provides a cost-effective solution for various timing applications.
