Working Principle

The 8N3QV01LG-0048CDI consists of a main oscillator and an electronic counter. The main oscillator is a voltage-controlled type that emits an electrical pulse at a set frequency. This frequency is then divided by the counter which yields a precise output frequency. The resultant frequency, commonly referred to as the divided frequency, can be programmed to any number of different numbers that can be selected by the user depending on their requirements. Furthermore, the output can be adjusted using the control inputs.

This powerful device undergoes a complex process to yield precision timing in any environment. First, the main oscillator generates a high frequency signal and applies it to the counter. The counter acts as a divide-by-n (N) device, dividing the overall frequency. The output of the counter is then sent to a phase detector, which compares the output frequency and the original frequency. If a discrepancy is detected, the output frequency is adjusted accordingly. Finally, the output frequency passes heavy-duty filter stages, providing the user with a clean and accurate signal.

By combining a wide range of features and functions, the 8N3QV01LG-0048CDI provides superior performance and accurate timing in any application. This highly reliable and cost-effective solution is perfect for any application requiring precise timing and synchronization.
