PXF620012

Oscillators are electronic signal generating devices, such as the PXF620012, and are typically used for engineering tasks such as time-sharing for synchronous control. Oscillators also can provide clock signals for digital equipment. The PXF620012 is a frequency, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Fox Electronics.

The PXF620012 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including voltage-controlled oscillators used in telecommunications, radio signal transmitters, local oscillators, jitter synthesis, and clock recovery systems. The PXF620012 also is used in synthesizers, sine waveform generators, and signal modulation devices.

The PXF620012 operates at a frequency between 40 to 70 megahertz, and its operational frequency is voltage controlled, meaning that the frequency of the PXF620012 can be changed when voltage is applied to its input. The output of the PXF620012 is in the form of a sine wave.

The working principle of the PXF620012 is relatively simple. In operation, an internal oscillator generates an initial frequency according to the voltage applied. This frequency is then fed into a voltage controlled oscillator in order to generate a different output frequency. This output frequency is in turn fed into a filter which then filters out any undesired harmonic frequencies in order to produce the clean sine wave output.

The PXF620012 is also designed with a low jitter (periodic deviation in the signal) when compared to other oscillator designs. Sub-ps rms jitter is the typical performance measurement for this oscillator. It is also designed to operate in temperatures of -40°C to +85°C and is compatible with a variety of CMOS logic levels.

The PXF620012 offers a wide range of features for product designers, including the ability to program the oscillator output voltage via the device pins. This is particularly useful for applications that require control of multiple oscillators. Other features include wide voltage range, low power consumption (8.7 mA @ +10Vdc input), a broadband noise output, and the ability to be connected to various other electronic components for additional functionality.

The PXF620012 is a versatile oscillator, capable of providing a clean, low jitter output for many engineering tasks. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, and its features make it a viable choice for designers who need a reliable oscillator.
