Programmable oscillators are naturally high in demand among engineers today as we strive to maintain accuracy and consistency in data. One such oscillator on the market today is the SIT1602AIL1-28E. This oscillator provides a reliable precision control at a competitive price. This article will provide an overview of the application fields and working principle of the SIT1602AIL1-28E.

Application Fields

The SIT1602AIL1-28E is specifically designed for precision timing control applications where cost and power consumption are of high concern. It is commonly used in devices ranging from cellular phones, digital cameras, digital audio players to CD-ROM, microelectronic systems and digital video recorders. Other application fields for the SIT1602AIL1-28E include instrumentation, telecommunications, industrial automation and any application that requires precision timing control with low power consumption.

Working Principle

The SIT1602AIL1-28E is based on differential pair conductance switching oscillator (COS) technology, which further adds to its cost and power efficiency. This technology uses two transistors connected as a differential pair with complementary output. In this type of oscillator, the frequency of the output signal is determined by the characteristics of the connected components and can be varied with the same set of transistors and the control voltage. The primary components in the oscillator circuit include a reference source and a voltage-controlled oscillator.

The process starts with the reference source providing a direct current (DC) signal which is then fed to the voltage-controlled oscillator. The oscillator then switches between two different states in regular intervals as it tries to keep the DC level at the same voltage as the reference source, thus producing a square wave of adjustable frequency. The frequency of the output signal is then regulated by the applied control voltage.

The SIT1602AIL1-28E oscillator also allows for additional features such as temperature compensation and pulse width modulation. Temperature compensation is maintained by the control voltage, which increases or decreases the oscillator frequency depending on the surrounding temperature. The oscillator frequency can also be adjusted in real time with the use of pulse width modulation.

Conclusion

The SIT1602AIL1-28E is a cost-and power-efficient programmable oscillator that finds applications in a range of devices. Its working principle is based on differential pair conductance switching oscillator (COS) technology and the frequency is regulated by applying a control voltage. The SIT1602AIL1-28E also has features such as temperature compensation and pulse width modulation for even greater precision control.
