Frequency control specialist Euroquartz has added new 8-pin dual-in-line (DIL) models to its recently launched range of military specification crystal oscillators designed for use in high-reliability applications.
The new 8-pin DIL EQXO-2000BM series clock oscillators complement the 14-pin DIL models, EQXO-1000BMK and EQXO-3000BMK, which were launched earlier this year and incorporate a custom-designed quartz crystal and a CMOS / TTL compatible hybrid circuit on a ceramic substrate.
Manufactured using the latest advances in production technology, these oscillators are capable of achieving tight frequency calibration tolerance and high stability over a wide temperature range. Frequency range is from 30kHz to 70MHz, with a calibration tolerance of ±10 to ±25ppm at 25°C and a frequency stability of ±100 or ±50ppm more than the full military temperature range from -55°C to 125°C.
The high-reliability ceramic substrate is housed in an industry standard 8-pin DIL size oscillator package with four pins and a ruggedised three-point crystal mounting system within a hermetically sealed metal package. Additional specifications include ageing of ±3ppm maximum in the first year, symmetry of 45% / 55% and standard 5.0V DC supply voltage (other voltages on request).
Standard output is CMOS, 50pF/10 TTL loads with other outputs available to order specially.
Ideal for upper atmosphere, aerospace, defence and other applications where high-reliability clock oscillators are required, the new EQXO-2000BM crystal oscillators can be screened to MIL-O-55310C, class B if required. Radiation tolerant EQXO-2000BMH versions will withstand ionising radiation to resist electrical failures for a total radiation dose of 40krad(SI).
