ECX-H25BN-40.000

The ECX-H25BN-40.000 oscillator is a frequency control device used for timing purposes. It is usually found in electronic circuits and systems that are frequency-critical, like in the communication and several other timing-dependent applications. This oscillator is part of the family of Electronic Crystals Oscillators (ECOs) that are highly reliable, low-cost, and offer high frequency stability even in harsh environments.

History

Electronic Crystals Oscillators were developed in the mid-1990s to serve as timing control devices for communication networks and other timing-sensitive applications. The first production series were used primarily in digital radios, satellite systems, and industrial computers. Over time, ECOs have come to be used in a variety of other applications, including frequency-critical low-cost embedded processors, RFID systems, base stations, sound synthesis systems, and home automation systems.

Specifications

The ECX-H25BN-40.000 oscillator is rated for a frequency range of 1.25 MHz to 40 MHz. The clock cycle times offered range from 25 ns to 400 ns, with a nominal frequency accuracy of ±10 ppm. The operating temperature range is -35ºC to 70ºC. It is also vibration-resistant and produces minimal noise. The ECX-H25BN-40.000 also offers an aging rate of no more than ±5ppm per year.

Application Field

As previously mentioned, the ECX-H25BN-40.000 is mainly used in communication and other timing-dependent applications. These oscillators are designed for high-volume applications and are reliable and cost-effective. They are often used in wireless and wired communication, telecommunications, network nodes and switches, telecommunications equipment, timing applications, industrial applications, and test and measurement systems.

Working Principle

The ECX-H25BN-40.000 oscillator uses a quartz crystal resonator to generate a repetitive square wave signal. The quartz crystal is connected to two electrodes: a control electrode and a ground electrode. A driving signal is applied to the control electrode, which then creates variations of the crystal\'s resistance in an alternating pattern. This varying resistance causes the quartz crystal to vibrate and generate an oscillating signal. The output signal then passes through an amplifier and output buffer before being sent to its designated destination.

Conclusion

The ECX-H25BN-40.000 oscillator is an efficient frequency control device that is ideal for applications requiring high frequency stability and accuracy. With its low price and reliable performance, this oscillator is suitable for many types of communication networks and other timing-dependent applications.
