Free-running reference oscillators span 10 MHz to 100 MHz with low phase noise
Pasternack has released six new free-running reference oscillators that generate a highly stable and accurate output frequency response with low phase noise and spurious performance levels, making them ideal in phase locked loops, function generators, frequency synthesizers and receivers for communication, radar, navigation, surveillance and test and measurement applications. These free-running, fixed-tuned oscillators use a high-stability […]
What is a clock and what are its critical parameters (Part 2)?
The performance of a clock function, which includes the crystal and associated circuitry, is defined by parameters which are measured over both the short term and long term. It is also characterized by change in specifications due to temperature variations, aging, and mechanical considerations such as vibration and shock. How is clock performance defined? Both […]
What is a clock and what are its critical parameters (Part 1)?
The “clock” function is a standard part of nearly every electronic system, with very few exceptions. Behind this simple-sounding, commonplace word, there is an array of complexity and subtlety in definition, performance, and design. Clocks are both vital and ubiquitous, so it is worth understanding the different functions they fulfill, they ways they can be […]

Multi-mode oscillators combine wide frequency range with low jitter
NDK’s NP5032S and NP7050S oscillators combine small size with low jitter performance. The two oscillators have similar performance and capabilities, but offer different package size options for more flexibility. The wide frequency range of 15 MHz to 2.1 GHz and low jitter makes them suitable for high-speed serial communications applications such as SONET, SDH, Synchronous […]
