GHz Crystal Oscillators

A globally preferred supply leader of frequency control and magnetic components, Abracon Corporation introduces its ASG series of High Frequency - Precision Crystal Oscillators and VCXOs.
“The trend towards shorter lead times and suppliers’ ability to offer low jitter - fixed or voltage controllable oscillators at high carrier frequencies, offering LVCMOS or Differential Output, is driving the need for products such as Abracon’s ASG series, “ explains Syed Raza, director of engineering for Abracon Corporation.

Its Advanced Engineering Team has launched a factory configurable surface mount oscillator capable of outputting any desired frequency between 10MHz and 1.5GHz in a 5.0 x 7.0 x 1.9 mm Ceramic SMT Package that is currently available and in stock. Packages with 5.0 x 3.2 mm and 2.5 X 2.0 mm will be available this December.

The ASG series is designed to offer exceptional, all-inclusive frequency stability of < ±50 ppm (tolerance, stability over temperature and aging) over a 10-year product life.  Utilizing innovative architecture, this solution features exceptional Phase Noise characteristics at high carrier frequencies.
Standard applications of the ASG series include: Networking, SONET / SDH, WiMax / WLAN, Computing, PLLs, DDSs, DSL / ADSL, BTS and General Timing Applications requiring a high frequency, low noise, low cost, small profile SMT solution.

Key features of the ASG series of Crystal Oscillators and Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillators include:
  •     LVCMOS, LVDS or LVPECL output option
  •     +2.5V or +3.3V operation
  •     Typical rms jitter of < 1ps @ 1GHz carrier over 12kHz to 20MHz BW
  •     -40ºC to +85ºC standard operating temperature range
  •     Space saving, 5.0 x 7.0 x 1.9 mm Ceramic SMT Package
  •     Lead time of one to five business days for small quantities.  The unique Integrated Circuitry of the ASG solution provides factory configurability, allowing extremely short lead times
The ASG series is currently in stock at Abracon's Global Distribution partner’s Avnet, Digi-Key, and Mouser Electronics at a competitive distribution cost of  <$17 @ 1GHz carrier and <$9 @ 156.25MHz carrier for quantities of 2,000. Both offer LVPECL output and are configured as a VCXO.  Pricing is based on carrier frequency, XO versus VCXO and output selection.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
