Low-Voltage Power Supply (3.3 VDC)

This digital clock is designed for use with high-speed CPUs and digitizers. Fundamental-mode oscillation is

made possible by surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) technology. The design results in low jitter, compact size,

and low power consumption. Differential outputs provide a sine wave that is capable of driving 50

Ω loads.

1.

Unless otherwise noted, all specifications include any combination of load

VSWR, VCC, and TA. In addition, Q and Q are terminated into 50

Ω loads to

ground. (See: Typical Test Circuit.)

2.

One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,616,197; 4,670,681;

4,760,352.

3.

The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject

to change without notice.

4.

Only under the nominal conditions of 50

Ω load impedance with VSWR ≤ 1.2 and

nominal power supply voltage.

5.

Symmetry is defined as the pulse width (in percent of total period) measured at

the 50% points of Q or Q. (See: Timing Definitions.)

6.

Jitter and other spurious outputs induced by externally generated electrical noise

regulation and careful PCB layout are recommended for optimum performance.

7.

Applies to period jitter of Q and Q. Measurements are made with the Tektronix

CSA803 signal analyzer with at least 1000 samples.

8.

9.

The outputs are enabled when Terminal 8 is at logic HIGH. Propagation delay is

defined as the time from the 50% point on the rising edge of ENABLE to the 90%

point on the rising edge of the output amplitude or as the fall time from the 50%

point to the 10% point. (SEE: Timing Definitions.)
