Rugged TCXO Tackles Aerospace Applications

July 28, 2010

The latest T45 temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) from Bliley Technologies has been designed for a wide operating temperature range of -55 to +125C for use in aerospace and military systems. It is available in frequencies from 20 to 120 MHz with stability as tight as 5 PPM over the full temperature range. According to Dennis Barrick, Bliley's Global Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, "A key benefit we offer to design engineers is that Bliley makes its T45 TCXO crystals on site. As a result, and unlike many of our competitors, we can produce small- to medium-sized runs of TCXO customer-specified frequencies." The RoHS-compliant oscillator is available with HCMOS or sine wave output options
