Working Principle

The working principle of the CPPC7-LZ76T programmable oscillator is based on the PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) principle. The circuit consists of a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) and a loop filter. The VCXO is a quartz crystal oscillator whose frequency is controlled by a voltage applied to its control port. The loop filter is an electronic component that adjusts the frequency of the output signal according to the difference between the desired and actual frequencies. Once the error is zero, the frequency of the output signal is locked to the desired frequency.

The CPPC7-LZ76T oscillator uses a wide input voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V, allowing it to be used in systems with different voltage requirements. Additionally, the device offers improved power efficiency, allowing for extended battery life in mobile applications. The oscillator also features a low phase noise of -112dBc/Hz, providing superior jitter performance. The device is available in the industry-standard 5.0mm x 3.2mm package, and is qualified according to the AEC-Q100 revision C standard.
