ECS-300C-128

Oscillators are electrical devices used to produce a periodic signal in the form of an AC wave, where the AC amplitude and frequency can be predetermined. The frequency of the wave generated by an oscillator is determined by the portion of the circuit that composes it, quite typically specified capacitors and coils.

The ECS-300C-128 is an oscillator used for general purpose and consumer applications. It is a quartz-controlled oscillator with a wide frequency range of 2.5-128 MHz and a wide temperature range of -10 to +85°C. It is offered in different packages and configurations, commonly including 16-pin, 24-pin and 28-pin DIP and small-outline packages. The ECS-300C-128 is highly stable and accurate and features fast start-up time, low-temperature drift and long life.

Application fields

The ECS-300C-128 oscillator is mainly used in RF applications, such as radio receivers, mobile communication, and radar systems. In addition, it can be used in clocks, consumer electronics, instrumentation, industrial equipment, security systems and automotive-related applications such as automotive navigation systems and car radios.

Working Principle

The working principle of the ECS-300C oscillator is based on the use of a quartz crystal for frequency control. The oscillator consists of a tuned circuit, which is composed of a quartz crystal, two capacitors and a coil. When power is applied to the circuit, an AC signal is generated. The signal is then fed back to the quartz crystal, which then shapes the AC signal into a steady, precise frequency.

One of the important features of the ECS-300C-128 oscillator is its temperature compensation, which ensures that the frequency is maintained under varying temperatures. Temperature compensation is achieved by using a temperature variable capacitor, which is part of the oscillator circuit. This capacitor is adjusted in order to compensate for any changes in temperature that occur, thus keeping the frequency as precise as possible.

In addition, the oscillator utilizes a frequency trimming technique, known as "Voltage Control", to adjust the frequency precisely. Voltage Control allows the oscillator to be adjusted within a certain range (typically ±25 ppm) by altering the supply voltage as required.

The ECS-300C-128 is an extremely accurate and stable oscillator, offering a variety of features suitable for a wide array of applications. With its wide frequency range and fast start-up time, as well as the temperature compensation and frequency trimming capabilities, the ECS-300C-128 is an ideal choice for consumer, general purpose and automotive applications.
