Pericom Semiconductor Corporation has expanded its Applications Specific Crystal Oscillator (ASSP XO) family with a new line of ASSP Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillators (VCXO) products. These solutions cater to the growing telecom infrastructure, broadband access and Ethernet markets, and are immediately available for popular frequencies.
"The market for VCXO products exceed $30M per Consulting Services & Associates LLC estimates," said Kay Annamalai, product-marketing director at Pericom. "Our ASSP VCXO products meet the demanding telecom and networking market needs such as ultra-low phase noise and phase jitter along with wide-frequency pull range, 'off-the-shelf' availability, and cost effectiveness."
ASSP VCXO are suggested for demanding telecom applications like cellular base station infrastructure equipment. These systems require typical phase noise at 1 KHz offset is less than -120dB, phase jitter from 12 KHz to 20 MHz offset is typically less than 0.3ps RMS, and pull range exceeds +/-100ppm, providing wider frequency adjustment to the input frequency variation.
Pricing and Availability: ASSP VCXO for the telecom market includes popular frequencies from 16.384 MHz to 155.52 MHz. Available immediately, unit pricing for 10K quantity ranges from $1.0 to $12.0 depending on frequencies and output levels.
