Its low output frequency also makes it suitable for low-power mains power applications.

Working Principle of SIT8008BIA8-30N

The SIT8008BIA8-30N is built using an innovative silicon on-chip (SOC) design. The oscillator uses an internally generated reference frequency to continuously adjust the clock program frequency. The reference frequency is provided by a crystal oscillator which is on-chip, and the oscillator is programmable to ensure reliable and precise waveform generation. The reference frequency is also adjustable to accommodate frequency adjustment based on the application.

The SIT8008BIA8-30N controls the output frequency and duty cycle of the waveform it produces. This output frequency is pre-programmed and can be regulated by an external source, such as a temperature sensor or a microcontroller. By controlling the frequency and duty cycle, the SIT8008BIA8-30N can produce waveforms with high accuracy, which is essential in many automotive and industrial applications.

The output drive strength can be adjusted up to 20mA using the on-chip adjustment mechanism. This adjustment mechanism allows for fine-tuning of the waveform to reduce EMI emission from the oscillator. This is especially important in automotive and robotic applications, where EMI has more intense effects on the system.

Conclusion

The SIT8008BIA8-30N is a programmable oscillator optimized for automotive and industrial applications. It produces precision waveforms with a reliable and low-power consumption design. The adjustable output drive strength up to 20mA and the adjustable reference frequency make it ideal for applications with tight frequency control requirements. The EMI reduction features of the oscillator make it an excellent choice for automotive and robotic applications, where EMI has a significant effect on the system.
