Answering many requests for a small format OCXO with tighter temperature stability, Raltron Electronics Corp., Miami FL, has announced the availability of their new OX2114-D3 Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator with vastly improved temperature Stability of +/- 5 ppb over an operating temperature range of -40 to +85ºC. Retaining the previous small size of 9 X […]
Clock Tree 101
By Linda Lua, Silicon Labs What is a clock tree? A clock tree is a clock distribution network within a system or hardware design. It includes the clocking circuitry and devices from clock source to destination. The complexity of the clock tree and the number of clocking components used depends on the hardware design. Since […]
VCOs cover bands from 10 MHz to 11 GHz
Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, releases an all new product line of voltage-controlled oscillators covering select bands from 10 MHz to 11 GHz. A comprehensive and growing portfolio of VCOs from Fairview includes over 60 different models in true surface mount and coaxial packaged versions available off-the-shelf from stock. […]
Gallery: Electronics in the spotlight at Xponential 2016 unmanned systems exhibition
Though the Xponential unmanned systems exhibition has a reputation for showing off a lot of exotic hardware, there were numerous developments on the electronics front at this year’s event. Themes we noticed included manufacturers paying more attention to the handling of huge data flows generated by optical and thermal sensors that sit onboard UAVs these […]
