SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T

Oscillators are essential components in many electronic circuits that employ signals in the kilohertz range. The use of oscillators is not limited to audio frequency applications (AF) but are often used to generate frequencies an order of magnitude or two higher up the frequency range. The SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T is a high frequency oscillator from Ralec designed for applications up to 65MHz.

The SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T features a fast rise and fall time – below 10ns for higher frequencies and typical supply voltages of 3.3V to 5V. One of the key benefits of this oscillator is the low power consumption, typically 1mA or lower. This oscillator has a temperature range of -20 to +70°C which makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

The core of the SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T is a vibration resonant three-dimensional (3D) quartz crystal, which uses the piezoelectric effect to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. In the presence of a stored mechanical energy, such as when a quartz crystal is vibrating, it creates an electrical field. This field can be used to generate a high-frequency signal since it is self sustaining and will continue oscillating once initiated. This is the core operating principle within the SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T.

Applications for the SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T include frequency synthesis for wireless communications, mobile broadband, microwave ovens, RFID transponders and most importantly - high frequency timing applications. The device is naturally suited to digital clocking and synchronising applications. Microcontrollers requiring serial communications, such as UART, I2C, CAN, or Ethernet, are also good applications.

The SIT8208AI-3F-18S-65.000000T is an excellent device for those situations when speed, accuracy and low power consumption are important. This oscillator offers excellent frequency stability and a wide supply voltage range, allowing it to be used in with a wide variety of applications. The low power consumption makes it an ideal choice for battery powered equipment, while the wide frequency range and high frequency accuracy makes it suitable for use in many digital clocking and synchronising applications.
