Vectron International Advances Line of Frequency Converters



Unique Design Helps Customers Reduce Total Cost of Ownership, Speed Time to Market

HUDSON, N.H., Aug. 6 / Vectron International, a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of Frequency Control, Sensor, and Hybrid Product solutions, today announced the expansion of its C3430 Frequency Controlled Crystal Oscillator (FCXO) family for use in wireline infrastructure, test and measurement, military applications and wireless infrastructure such as GSM, CDMA and W-CDMA base stations and point-to-point radio. Leveraging an integrated crystal-based phase locked loop (PLL) circuit, Vectron's latest C3430 FCXO enables customers to convert one input frequency into as many as four independent output frequencies to simplify clock distribution, while its plug and play functionality helps organizations reduce total cost of ownership and research and development cycles.

"Vectron works closely with customers to deliver innovative modular solutions to help solve their complex timing challenges," said Alan Mond, Vice President of Global Sales, Vectron. "The new FCXO C3430 provides superior phase noise performance in a package that provides a high cost to performance ratio, allowing customers to realize their frequency management goals while also speeding time to market and reducing total cost of ownership."

Vectron's C3430 frequency converter offers output frequencies up to 700 MHz in a unique oscillator design, leveraging a proven FR4 surface mount packaging design, manufactured via a highly-automated process, the C3430 FCXO is an excellent addition to Vectron's existing range of Frequency Translators that are leading the industry.

Key Features include:
o Output Frequencies available from 10 to 700 MHz
o Low jitter of < 0.20 ps RMS across 12 kHz to 20 MHz and < 0.70 ps RMS across 10 Hz to 100 kHz
o Superior phase noise performance of:
- 75dBc @10Hz
-105dBc @100Hz
-130dBc @1kHz
-145dBc @10kHz
-150dBc @100kHz
o 13 x 20 mm package
o 3.3 V and 5 V supply voltage
o Operation in a temperature range from -40° to 85° Celsius
o Product is free of lead and fully compliant to EC RoHS Directive
