Crystal Oscillator targets WiMax base station applications.

Press Release Summary:



Featuring frequency range of 2.43-60.00 MHz, 14-pin FTS310 DIP OCXO meets IEEE 802.15-2004 specification that dictates frequency stability must be better than 8 ppm for 10 years. Phase noise is -125 dBc/Hz at offset of 100 Hz and -145 dBc/Hz at offset of 10 kHz. Measuring 20.8 x 13.2 x 11.0 mm, OCXO operates at 1.0 W at 0°C and 0.6 W at 25°C. Operating temperature is -40 to +65°C, with -40 to +85°C option for outdoor units or locations requiring tolerance to high temperatures.

Fox Electronics Introduces New OCXO for Wimax Base Station Applications



FORT MYERS, Fla., March 2007 -- Fox Electronics, a leading global supplier of frequency control products, today announced a new HCMOS, 14-pin DIP OCXO (oven controlled crystal oscillator). Designed for use in base stations, the new FTS310 OCXO will benefit the WiMAX, HIPERMAN and WiBro markets in the U.S., Europe and Korea, respectively.

Fox's new OCXO is more robust than TCXO options, clearly meeting the IEEE 802.16-2004 specification that dictates the OCXO have a frequency stability better than 8 PPM for 10 years. In addition, Fox's new OCXO has a phase noise of -125 dBc/Hz at an offset of 100 Hz and of -145 dBc/Hz at an offset of 10 kHz.

The operating temperature for the FTS310 is -40°C to +65°C, with an option of -40°C to +85°C for use in outdoor units or locations requiring tolerance to higher temperatures. The new OCXO has a frequency range of 2.43 MHz to 60.00 MHz, warms up to within ±4.6 PPM in two minutes and needs less than 1.5 watts of power to do so. Its supply voltage is 3.30 V ±0.16 V, its operating power is 1.0 watts at 0°C and 0.6 watts at 25°C and its output load is 15 pF. The OCXO measures 20.8 mm L x 13.2 mm W x 11.0 mm H.

Pricing for a FTS310 OCXO is $17.00 each in quantities of 5,000. Delivery is eight weeks ARO.
