New oscillators with ultra-high shock rating for low earth orbit applications

Euroquartz now offers Statek’s new range of 30kRad tolerant, ultra-high shock, low phase-noise oscillators that are excellent for low earth orbit applications. Capable of withstanding shocks of up to 100,000g, the new CXOXLPNR surface mount components are accommodated in hermetically sealed ceramic 3.2mm x 2.5mm packages with operating temperature spectrum from -55C to +125C.

The oscillators provide a low voltage CMOS output with typical low phase-noise of -165dBc/Hz at 125MHz (20MHz offset) blended with typical low RMS phase jitter of 150fs over 12kHz to 20MHz and low acceleration sensitivity. Output frequencies from 20MHz to 125MHz are offered with supply voltage range from 1.8V to 3.3V ±10%.

Ideal for low earth orbit and small satellite applications, the new oscillators can be MIL screened for aerospace and defence programmes including communications/GPS and provided for usage in industrial environments.
