New Fox HCMOS Oscillator Eases Timing Circuit Design



Fort Myers, FL, March 2005 - Fox Electronics, America's leading supplier of frequency control products, has introduced a new HCMOS crystal oscillator that eliminates the difficulty of and need to design an oscillator circuit using high ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) watch crystals for critical timing applications such as Real Time Clocks and ICs. By replacing the high ESR crystal with the Fox465 SMD oscillator, the startup reliability of the timing circuit is improved.

The new Fox oscillators operate at a frequency of 32.768 kHz. Key features of the new Fox465 oscillators include a low 5uA maximum input current, making them ideal for standby timing of ICs, and their ability to operate at any voltage from 1.5V to 6V. The compact devices measure just 4.0 x 6.5 x 2.0 mm.

The Fox465 family has an operating temperature range of -40º C to +85º C. Frequency stability is +30/-150 PPM and frequency tolerance at 25º C is +30/0 PPM.

Pricing for the Fox465 oscillator is $1.94 in quantities of 10,000. Samples are available now.
