ATS060SM

Crystals are precise oscillators used to maintain frequency accuracy in many applications. The ATS060SM is a high stability crystal oscillator that combines an AT-cut quartz crystal and a temperature compensated (TCXO) in one package. It is designed to provide superior performance stability and accuracy over a wide range of environmental conditions and vibration levels.

ATS060SM Application Field

The ATS060SM is designed to be used in a variety of applications, including telecommunications, navigation, and instrumentation. In particular, it is ideal for use as an extremely low phase noise reference clock in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) cellular infrastructure base stations and base station controllers. Additionally, the ATS060SM\'s excellent performance characteristics make it suitable for use in high-accuracy timing environments, such as portable instrumentation, satellite communication systems, military electronics, and global positioning systems.

ATS060SM Working Principle

The ATS060SM consists of an AT-cut quartz crystal and a temperature compensated (TCXO). The quartz crystal is mechanically cut in a particular fashion that is optimized for high frequency stability and excellent temperature characteristics. The crystal\'s oscillator circuit is then formed by connecting the appropriate passive components, which are then connected to the TCXO. The TCXO is powered by the same supply voltage as the crystal, and its output is temperature compensated according to the quartz crystal\'s frequency-temperature characteristics. This ensures that the ATS060SM oscillates with great accuracy and stability throughout its operating range.

The ATS060SM is designed to provide superior performance stability and accuracy over a wide range of environmental conditions and vibration levels. The frequency stability for the ATS060SM is tightly controlled over a specified temperature range of -40°C to 85°C using a precision TCXO. The wide dynamic range of the ATS060SM allows it to provide reliable operation when exposed to a variety of environmental conditions, such as high temperature, vibration, and shock.

The ATS060SM also has excellent phase noise characteristics and low aging. The crystal element used in the ATS060SM is designed for optimal phase-noise performance in order to provide tight jitter control for high speed communication systems. Additionally, the crystal is designed to provide stable performance over a long life Cycle and is effectively immune to aging due to the use of the TCXO.
