Abracon LLC introduces its ASG2 and ASG2-LJ series of high-frequency, precision, crystal oscillators and VCXOs in an ultra-miniature, space-saving 2.5 x 2.0 x 1.0 mm SMT sealed package.

The ASG2 series satisfies the need for smaller profile, lower jitter fixed or voltage-controlled oscillators at high carrier frequencies that offer a LVCMOS or differential output.

The ASG2 series is a factory-configurable, surface-mount oscillator, capable of any frequency output between 8.0 MHz and 1.5 GHz in a 2.5 x 2.0 x 1.0 mm ceramic SMT package. The overall product capability across 8.0 MHz to 1.5 GHz is a 1.80 ps maximum RMS jitter with an all-inclusive frequency stability of < ±50 ppm (including tolerance, stability over temperature, and aging) throughout a 15-year product lifecycle.

The ASG2-LJ series is designed to offer exceptional close-to-the-carrier jitter performance. Utilizing innovative architecture and processing techniques, this solution features exceptional phase noise characteristics at high carrier frequencies with a typical RMS jitter of 500 fs at frequencies including: 100, 125, 156.25, 200, 212.5, 250, 312.5, 400 and 1,000 MHz. The 500 fs typical performance is only available in a XO configuration, which is optimized to service jitter-sensitive applications.

Standard applications of the ASG2 series include: networking, SONET/SDH, WiMax/WLAN, computing, PLLs, DDSs, DSL/ADSL, BTS, and general timing applications that require a high-frequency, low-noise, low-cost, small-profile SMT solution.
