Oscillators refer to a type of electronic component that produces a periodic, oscillating wave form, often a sine, square, triangle, or a combination of these wave forms, characterized by one or more output signals, rather than a single one. They are commonly used in many applications, both commercial and industrial, such as power supply units, test equipment, and audio/visual equipment. The XLP73V775.069300I is a specific type of oscillator, an Every-Ready series VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) manufactured by New Japan Radio Company (NJRC).
XLP73V775.069300I Oscillator Application Field
The Every-Ready series VCO is a wideband oscillator that is suitable for use in radio frequency (RF) communications. It is able to provide a low-cost, high-performance solution with low-noise and low-distortion for a variety of applications such as data transmission, telemetry, and communication systems. It is also applicable to satellite communication systems, GPS receivers, low power wireless systems, and more.
The XLP73V775.069300I is designed to be robust and provides a wide frequency range up to 4.406GHz, with a minimum switching frequency of 380MHz. It includes features such as low harmonic distortion, high stability, and a choice of power supply voltage. It is also capable of being fitted with an external filter module to improve both linearity and frequency stability for long-term operation.
XLP73V775.069300I Oscillator Working Principle
The working principle of the Every-Ready series VCO is based on an LC ( inductance-capacitance) circuit. The device is constructed around a high-frequency oscillator core, making use of the feedback resistor-capacitor (RC) network to set the oscillation frequency. The oscillator core consists of a voltage-controlled negative resistance element, a positive resistance element, and a pair of capacitors.
An external voltage, applied to the Voltage Control Terminal (VCT), is used to control the oscillator frequency by varying the magnitude of the load (or output) signal relative to the resonance frequency of the LC circuit. As the output signal changes over time in response to variations in the VCT voltage, the resonant frequency of the LC circuit also changes. This allows the oscillator frequency to be adjusted by controlling the amplitude of the VCT voltage.
The Every-Ready series VCO has the added advantage of not requiring additional components such as filters, amplifiers, or tuning networks. This decreases component count, cost, and design complexity, enabling a simple and cost-effective design. Furthermore, the device is available in a variety of packages, including surface mount and through-hole, giving the designer greater flexibility when designing an application.
Conclusion
The XLP73V775.069300I oscillator is an Every-Ready series VCO from NJRC specifically designed for use in RF communications. Due to its wide frequency range, low harmonic distortion, and high stability, the device is suitable for applications such as data transmission, telemetry, and communication systems. The oscillator works on an LC circuit with an external voltage applied to the VCT controlling the oscillator frequency. In addition to its performance benefits, the device is also relatively simple to integrate, with fewer components and a choice of packages for easy and cost-effective design.
