Original Press Release:


New M655 Series Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator Provides Low Jitter for Clock Smoothing and Frequency Translation


Worcester, Mass. Micro Networks, an Integrated Circuit Systems Company (NASDAQ - ICST) is pleased to announce the release of the M655 Series Voltage Controlled SAW Oscillator designed and developed specifically for Clock Smoothing and Frequency Translation applications in Telecommunications.

The M655 Series VCO utilizes a SAW resonator internally, which provides superior jitter performance over a -40 to 85 degree temperature range. The resonator is a high Q device that operates at the fundamental frequency of the end unit, thus enabling this kind of performance.

Other features/benefits include:

- 3.3V operation

- Output frequencies from 155 MHz to 900 MHz

- 9 x 14 mm low profile true surface mount 6-pin ceramic package. Some typical applications are: Clock Smoothing, Frequency Translation and Clock and Data Retiming.
