C3390-4.000

Oscillators are frequency and time control devices used in a wide variety of applications, from radio transmitters and receivers to timing equipment for manufacturing or the medical industry. One such oscillator is the C3390-4.000, which is an electronically-tunable clock oscillator with very low jitter and extremely low phase noise performance.The C3390-4.000 can be used in several different sectors for timing applications that require an extremely stable output frequency. This includes cellular communications, broadcast video and audio, surveillance systems, broadcast video for consumer electronics, high-end A/V equipment, and a wide variety of embedded and test and measurement systems. It is also suitable for various military, avionics, satellite, and aerospace applications.The C3390-4.000 is capable of producing a continuous output signal over a range of 2.25 to 5.00 MHz at a temperature of 25°C. The output frequency is electronically controlled with a small digital signal with very little frequency drift, making it an excellent choice for applications that require very precise clock signals. In addition, the C3390-4.000 has an extremely low noise level of -140 dBc/Hz, making it ideal for applications which require a clean signal.The C3390-4.000 consists of a crystal oscillator, an oscillator bias circuit, and a multiplier. The oscillator bias circuit helps to control the frequency and stability of the clock by driving the frequency of the crystal oscillator up or down as required. The multiplier then takes the output from the crystal oscillator and multiplies it by a predetermined ratio, in order to obtain the desired output frequency. This oscillator is also able to be tuned to a variety of frequencies, as the output frequency can be digitally controlled via a serial bus or by using a microprocessor.The principle of operation of the C3390-4.000 can be broken down into three main components: the crystal oscillator, oscillator bias circuit, and multiplier. The crystal oscillator is a device that produces digital signals at fixed frequencies. It consists of two quartz crystals, each connected to their own pair of plates (electrodes). The first crystal is connected to one plate, while the other is connected to the adjacent plate. When a power supply is connected to the crystal oscillator, an electrical current passes through it, resulting in an oscillating voltage between the plates. The frequency of this voltage is determined by the size of the crystal and the amount of current that passes through it.The oscillator bias circuit then takes the output from the crystal oscillator and, using an electronic tuning device, changes its frequency. This tuning device adjusts the current until the desired frequency of the oscillator has been achieved.The multiplier then takes this output and uses a fixed frequency multiplier to multiply it by a predetermined ratio, to obtain the desired output frequency. This is done by multiplying the original frequency by the multiplier ratio.Overall, the C3390-4.000 is an extremely low jitter and low phase noise oscillator which is suitable for a range of applications, including cellular communications, broadcast video and audio, surveillance systems, broadcast video for consumer electronics, high-end A/V equipment, and a wide variety of military, avionics, satellite, and aerospace applications. The oscillator is electronically controlled and is capable of producing a continuous output signal with very little frequency drift, making it ideal for precision clock timing applications.
