Embedded Show launch for IQD’s New Reduced size Disciplined OCXO

IQD’s new IQCM-160 disciplined OCXO module is housed in a 30 x 25 x 14.6mm hermetically sealed through-hole metal package which covers approx. half the area of the current models. The IQCM-160 can achieve a holdover specification of 1.5 microseconds over a period of 8 hours when locked to a 1PPS (Pulse Per Second) input from an external GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU, GALILEO or alternative 1PPS source. The design incorporates an internal adaptive algorithm which enables the module to ‘learn’ the parameters of the GPS signal after a period of 2 days of lock so that the holdover function can start in the event of signal failure. An internal alarm is built-in to indicate lock failure and subsequent… Read Full Blog Post

Smallest 32.768kHz clock oscillator

1.6 x 1.2 x 0.7mm hermetically sealed ceramic package
Only 30µA and with a standby current as low as 3µA
Delivers better temperature characteristic than standard 32.768kHz tuning fork crystal based oscillators due to the use of an AT-cut crystal normally found in higher frequency oscillators
Start-up time only 7ms at 3.3V with a rise and fall time of 200ns
CMOS output with supply voltage 1.8V
Typical applications: battery management systems, communication modules and systems (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wireless LAN & Zigbee), LCD lighting systems and smart meters (AMR)

Low Jitter High Frequency VCXO
