Oscillators provide low-jitter performance.

Press Release Summary:




Offered in LVDS and LVPECL versions for XO packages, XpressO(TM) silicon-based oscillators utilize noise-reducing DSM technology and low-noise architecture to decrease jitter and phase noise. They come in 7.5 x 5.0 mm and 5.0 x 3.2 mm ceramic packages and feature frequency range of 1.0 MHz to 1.1 GHz, with stabilities as tight as ±20 ppm. Ordering possibilities depend on required output, frequency, and stability needed.

New Low-Cost Oscillators from Fox Electronics Provide Low Jitter, Enhanced Performance



FORT MYERS, Fla., September 2006 - Fox Electronics, America's leading supplier of frequency control products, now offers a small, silicon-based oscillator with extremely low jitter. The LVDS and LVPECL versions of the oscillator, which are part of Fox's new XpressO(TM) family, cost 30 percent less than traditional LVDS/LVPECL quartz oscillators.

Noise reducing DSM technology and proprietary low-noise architecture decrease jitter and phase noise in the 3.3-volt XpressO oscillator. Its revolutionary design and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) allow for accurate performance, decreased costs, shorter lead times and increased flexibility. The high performance XpressO oscillators are available in LVDS and LVPECL versions for XO packages, and XpressO's ceramic package sizes are 7.5 mm x 5.0 mm and 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm. Because pricing does not vary depending on package size, there is no penalty for purchasing a smaller package.

The new XpressO oscillators are applicable in a variety of functions requiring extreme stabilities, from HDTV and optical networking, to broadband applications for Internet, as well as video and data transfer. The XpressO oscillators feature a frequency range from 1.0 MHz to 1.1 GHz, stabilities as tight as ±20 ppm, and next day shipment for samples and within 10 days for production quantities.

Pricing for XpressO oscillators will vary depending on the output, frequency and stability needed. A 3.3v, 50ppm, LVDS/LVPECL, 155.52 MHz oscillator costs $4.32 in quantities of 1,000.
