Evaluation boards facilitate testing of AST3TQ series TCXOs and VCTCXOs

Designed to facilitate the electrical performance testing of the AST3TQ series of TCXOs and VCTCXOs, Abracon's AST3TQ evaluation boards are now stocked by Mouser. Users simply solder down the AST3TQ device on the provided land pattern and connect +3.3V to the SMA connector marked as 'Vdd' then monitor the RF Output at the SMA marked as 'Out'. For the TCXO version, the 'VC' port SMA connector should be left floating. For the VCTCXO version, the port should be connected to a DC Voltage between 0V and +3.3V, says the company.
