Miniature OCXO delivers ±5ppb stability

Available in an industry standard package measuring just 14 x 9.0mm and with a height of only 6.5mm, IQD's new IQOV-162 series OCXO provides a frequency stability down to ±5ppb over the full industrial temperature range of –40 to 85°C.

Operating from a 3.3V supply voltage, the device consumes 600mA of current during warm up and takes less than 5 minutes to be within <100ppb of the final specification and 300mA max at steady state at 25°C. The output can be specified as either HCMOS, 15pF load or Sinewave, into a 50Ohms load. As well as offering phase noise performance better than -150dBc/Hz at 1kHz offset, ageing performance is also good at less than ±500ppb per year. Variants can be specified to include voltage control to enable the frequency to be adjusted for correction over time and remotely with a pullability range of ±3 to ±8ppm. The IQOV-162 series is primarily designed for use in applications such as CDMA base stations, femtocells, optical networking, 3G & 4G LTE, Ethernet, SoNET/SDH, ATM backplanes, SATA and satellite communications.
