AX7MCF4-50.0000T Datasheet/PDFOscillators
Oscillators are electrical circuits that produce a periodic electrical signal. They are commonly used in electronic communication systems to generate periodic waveforms such as sine, square, and triangle waves. Oscillators can also be used for frequency stabilizing, filtering, timing, and control applications.
One of the most common oscillator types is the AX7MCF4-50.0000T. This oscillator is a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator that operates over an extremely wide temperature range and provides excellent phase noise performance. It features a wide variety of frequency points, from 1.50 MHz to 125.0 MHz at 1.5V up to 50 MHz at 3.3V and provides output phase jitter on the order of 1 to 2 picoseconds.
The AX7MCF4-50.0000T oscillator is a multi-mode device capable of generating sine, square, triangel and other waveforms. As a result, it is suitable for use in a range of applications, such as local oscillators for communications systems, digital logic clock generation, RF receivers, and audio AGC systems. It also has good performance in other applications, such as frequency synthesizers, electronic counters and timers, as well as filters and signal conditioning.
Working Principle
The AX7MCF4-50.0000T works by using a tuning fork crystal resonator as its oscillating element. The applied resonating frequency is determined by the size, shape, and material of the tuning fork crystal. The oscillator is then voltage-controlled, meaning that it is capable of being tuned by varying the applied voltage. This allows it to generate waveforms of varying frequencies and output levels.
In addition, the AX7MCF4-50.0000T utilizes an advanced low-phase noise architecture to enable precise frequency control and superior phase noise performance. This makes it ideal for use in demanding applications that require high signal fidelity, such as in satellite communications and radar systems. The device also provides both short-term and long-term stability and is designed to meet stringent environmental specifications.
Conclusion
The AX7MCF4-50.0000T oscillator offers a versatile and reliable solution for a broad range of applications. Its advanced low-phase noise architecture, voltage-controlled tuning, and extended temperature range make it suitable for advanced and demanding applications such as satellite communications and radar systems. As a result, it is a great option for those in need of a reliable and high-performance oscillator.
