TS122F33CDT

The TS122F33CDT is a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (or TCXO) designed to accommodate the rapidly growing needs of the semiconductor market. The device is ideal for low-noise and precise timing applications, such as cell phoens, navigation systems and other portable electronics.

Application fields

The TS122F33CDT TCXO is predominantly used in a number of applications requiring synchronization with very precise accuracy. The most common of these applications are in communication, navigation, and the Internet of Things. Its high-precision nature makes it especially suitable for withstanding different temperatures when used in embedded systems. This is an essential feature for applications such as cellular base stations, global positioning systems, and even pacemakers.

The TCXO offers reliable circuitry, fast startup time, low-jitter output and very low-power consumption. This makes it suitable for applications such as digital switches and bass amplifiers, timing clocks, industrial process controllers, network switches and routers, gaming platforms, and even automotive applications.

Working principle

At its core, the TS122F33CDT TCXO works on the same basic principles of any other quartz crystal oscillator, essentially a voltage-controlled, resonant oscillator with a quartz crystal as the frequency-determining element. This crystal, typically formed from quartz or ceramic materials, functions as an electrical parallel-plate capacitor. The edges of the plates contact the metal electrodes of the crystal ( Figure 1).

When voltage is applied, the quartz crystal and capacitance form an electrical LC circuit, also known as an inductor-capacitor circuit; thus, setting up an oscillating electrical current. The frequency of the current is determined by the inductor-capacitor circuit. Any variations due to outside temperature changes are corrected by the TCXO.

The TS122F33CDT TCXO is capable of operating from -40℃ to +85℃, with a temperature stability of ±0.5 ppm. This is a very high level of accuracy for temperature-controlled oscillators. As a result, it is able to maintain its frequency accuracy across a wide range of temperatures.

Conclusion

The TS122F33CDT TCXO is a temperature-controlled oscillator that is used in applications requiring synchronization with very precise accuracy. With its high precision, the device is ideal for a range of embedded systems and other temperature-sensitive applications. It boasts reliable circuitry, fast startup time, low-jitter output, and low-power consumption. This makes it suitable for various applications, such as digital switches and bass amplifiers, timing clocks, industrial process controllers, network switches and routers, gaming platforms, and even automotive technologies.
