Pin Configurable/Selectable Oscillators

Pin configurable/selectable oscillators are ideal for applications that require different frequencies, frequencies that can be changed in the field or in situ, or when a trimpot is not a good option. The 552BD000118DG is one of the many oscillator families that offer pin configurability. It is a low phase noise, surface mount, HCMOS oscillator with a wide frequency range, good frequency stability, and a high shock and vibration rating. In this article we will discuss the application fields and working principles of the 552BD000118DG pin configurable/selectable oscillator.

Application Fields

The 552BD000118DG offers many key features that make it ideal for a wide range of applications. It boasts a frequency range up to 1000MHz, and stability ratings down to +/-25ppm over a wide temperature range. Additionally, the oscillator utilizes Fundamental Series HCMOS technology, which eliminates the need for external filters, and four selectable logic functions, which give the user the flexibility to select different logic levels. All of these features make the 552BD000118DG a great choice for marine, military, and avionics applications, as well as many commercial and industrial applications that require a low phase noise, reliable oscillator with pin selectable frequency and logic levels.

Working Principle

The 552BD000118DG oscillator works on a simple principle: pins 1 and 4 are its inputs, and pins 2 and 3 are its outputs. An input signal is applied to pins 1 and 4, and an output signal is produced on pins 2 and 3. The frequency of the output signal is determined by the characteristics of the oscillator chip, which are set by the user using the pins. By manipulating the inputs, the user can change the frequency of the oscillator, as well as other parameters such as the logic levels of the outputs.

The 552BD000118DG works by using a crystal oscillator and a logic circuit. The crystal oscillator produces a periodic signal at a frequency that is determined by its design. This signal is then sent to the logic circuit, which modifies the signal according to the user\'s input. The modified signal is then sent to the outputs, which produce the desired frequency, as well as any other parameters set by the user.

The 552BD000118DG is a great choice for applications requiring pin configurability and selectable logic functions. Its wide frequency range, high stability, and low phase noise make it ideal for many military, marine, and avionic applications, as well as many commercial and industrial applications. The oscillator is simple to use, and easy to configure. With the 552BD000118DG, users can easily obtain the frequency and logic levels they need for their applications.
