Mini clock oscillator supports extreme conditions

A Precision Devices product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 28, 2010

Precision Devices has introduced the OC8037 miniature clock oscillator, which is targeted at extreme-temperature and harsh-environment applications.

Extreme conditions are supported by the new oscillator, which provides a range of operating temperatures, including -40C to +85C and -55C to +125C; additional options are available to support even higher operating temperatures.

The OC8037 also offers a high shock resistance of 5,000G (at 0.3ms, 1/2 sine) and a high vibration resistance of 10Hz to 2,000Hz at 10G.

The oscillator offers an operating frequency range of up to 160MHz with a square wave HC-CMOS/AC-CMOS output, a frequency stability of +/-50ppm output and two supply voltage options (3.3V and 5V).

Typical applications for the new oscillator include avionics and aerospace systems, such as airborne computers, cockpit instrumentation and displays, automotive systems and medical equipment.

The new miniature clock oscillator is available in an RoHS-compliant four-pin SMD ceramic package with compact dimensions of 8.0mm in length, 3.7mm in width and 2mm in depth.

The OC8037 oscillator can be supplied in 1,000 units on tape and reel and is available immediately from Precision Devices and through its distribution and representative partners across Europe.
