Oscillators

Oscillators are implemented for a variety of applications, and there are many types available to suit specific needs. The SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D is one type of oscillator used in electronic circuits. This article will examine the characteristics of this oscillator as well as its applications and working principle.

Features of the SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D Oscillator

The SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D is a numerical controlled oscillator (NCO) with sixteen bit resolution and 24.000000MHz maximum frequency. This oscillator is available in two versions; ceramic or leaded. The ceramic version measures 16.9 x 10.8 x 5.2 mm, and the leaded version measures 18.7 x13.2 x6.2 mm. The operating temperature range for both versions is from -40°C to +85°C.

The NCO has low phase noise –1dB at 1kHz offset over its range of frequencies, and a low jitter of 500fs at 10MHz. It can operate from two independent static DC sources – either 3.3V or 5 V. The oscillator has a good frequency stability of 0.5ppm/° from -10 to +65°C. The NCO has a superior waveform quality and has an integrated phase frequency detector (PFD) with a 100MHz bandwidth.

Applications of the SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D Oscillator

The SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D oscillator is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. It is widely used in medical equipment, electronic test and measurement systems, consumer electronics and other applications. The oscillator can be used to generate frequencies for clock, data, or audio synchronization in digital systems. It can also be used as a clock source for microcontrollers and DSPs.

Due to their low phase noise and low jitter performance, these oscillators are also suitable for use in radio communications systems. They can be used to generate frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers, as well as for signaling systems used in military and industrial applications. The NCO also has excellent phase noise performance, making it an ideal choice for Avionics, medical instrumentation and high-sensitivity audio applications.

Working Principle of the SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D Oscillator

The SIT1602BC-21-18E-24.000000D oscillator is based on a Phase Locked Loop (PLL). This PLL is able to generate and maintain a precise frequency by comparing an internal reference frequency to the incoming frequency. The oscillator is able to lock onto the incoming frequency and generate a new signal at the same frequency, with very low phase noise and jitter.

The oscillator is also able to regenerate a precise carrier frequency as many times as required, and can lock onto a wide range of frequencies, from 10Hz to 24.000000MHz. The oscillator is also able to operate on either 3.3V or 5V power supplies, and is able to maintain a stable frequency over a wide range of operating temperatures.
