578S300CAT

The 578S300CAT Oscillator is a high-precision, low-jitter clock generator designed for high-side timing needs. It is the ideal frequency generator for sensitive digital and microwave systems, as it provides low-latency frequency hopping and dynamic clock scaling. The 578S300CAT is well suited to applications such as timing sensitive digital communications systems, fiber optics power management, high-frequency microwave oscillator modules, and locking synchronization systems.

The 578S300CAT utilizes a negative-resistance oscillator circuit. This type of oscillator generates a high purity clock signal without the need of any external components. It uses two amplifiers in a feedback loop to enable the production of an oscillatory signal. The output frequency is tuned by the biasing of the amplifiers. This oscillator circuit requires a small signal source and a feedback capacitor.

At the core of the 578S300CAT is a highly accurate two-stage delay line that is designed to achieve the desired frequency stability. This delay line is integrated into the oscillator circuit and is responsible for creating a highly stable clock signal. The 578S300CAT is designed to operate at a very wide temperature range and its frequency accuracy is not affected by temperature changes. The integrated delay line also ensures that the output frequency remains constant regardless of the operating load.

The 578S300CAT is programmed to automatically initiate and complete frequency changes. It allows for rapid tuning of the output frequency, making it highly suitable for frequency-hopping systems. The output frequency can be adjusted in a single step or via a series of steps, making it ideal for applications that require a frequency-dependent amplitude control. Finally, the 578S300CAT also features a low-latency frequency-hopping response that is well-suited to communications systems.

The 578S300CAT Oscillator is an invaluable timing component for high-performance digital communication and microwave systems. Its wide-temperature operating range and high frequency accuracy make it a superior choice for applications that require precision clock signals. The integrated delay line also ensures that the output frequency remains constant regardless of temperature or load. The low-latency frequency-hopping response, as well as the ability to rapidly tune the output frequency, make the 578S300CAT the ideal frequency generator for sensitive digital and microwave systems.
