Ultra-Stable Performance with the FO0914A OCXO
Low phase noise and wide-temperature stability rarely come together in a surface-mount package. The FO0914A OCXO from FCD-Tech B.V. delivers both, reaching −165 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset in a reflow-ready 14 x 9 mm SMD footprint that operates from −55 °C to +85 °C.
Key Specifications & Performance Features
Built as a compact reference for systems where clock purity and drift set the performance limit, the FO0914A covers 10 to 100 MHz, with 10, 20, 40 and 50 MHz as nominal frequencies.
Key advantages include:
- Low Phase Noise: Down to −130 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, −155 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz and −165 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset at 10 MHz.
- Frequency Stability: Down to ±20 ppb over −20 °C to +70 °C, with ±50 ppb and ±100 ppb grades for extended industrial and military temperature ranges.
- Low Aging: ±1 ppb per day and ±100 ppb per year, with supply and load sensitivity within ±5 ppb.
- Output Choice: Sine wave at +5 dBm minimum into 50 Ω with harmonics below −40 dBc, or HCMOS for digital timing.
- Flexible Supply and Tuning: 3.3 V or 5.0 V operation, ±0.5 to ±2 ppm EFC range, or a no-tuning option.
- Qualified Build: Stress tested to IEC 60068 and GJB360B, RoHS compliant.
Applications
Telecom base stations, test and measurement instrumentation, network synchronization, GNSS-disciplined timing, radar and precision frequency synthesis.
