AB308-4.9152MHZ - ABRACON

AB308-4.9152MHZ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane, and keeping the oscillator away from high-frequency noise sources. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane is recommended for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the oscillator is properly terminated?
  The AB308-4.9152MHZ oscillator requires a 15pF load capacitance for proper termination. Ensure that the load capacitance is connected between the output pin and ground, and that the PCB layout is designed to minimize parasitic inductance.
• What is the operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The AB308-4.9152MHZ oscillator is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the frequency stability and output amplitude at extreme temperatures.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The AB308-4.9152MHZ oscillator is designed to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-883, Method 2007.1 for vibration. However, it's recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers to ensure the oscillator meets the specific vibration requirements of your application.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this oscillator?
  The AB308-4.9152MHZ oscillator has built-in ESD protection, but it's still recommended to follow proper ESD handling procedures during assembly and testing. Ensure that the oscillator is handled in an ESD-controlled environment, and that ESD-sensitive devices are properly grounded.
