ABL-10.000MHZ-B2-T - ABRACON

ABL-10.000MHZ-B2-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends a layout with a ground plane underneath the oscillator, and to keep the traces as short as possible to minimize noise and radiation. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane is recommended.
• How do I ensure the oscillator starts up reliably?
  To ensure reliable startup, Abracon recommends a power-up ramp time of 1ms to 10ms, and a power supply voltage that is within the recommended operating range. Additionally, the oscillator should be decoupled with a 10nF to 100nF capacitor.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ABL-10.000MHZ-B2-T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, but it can be customized for extended temperature ranges upon request.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ABL-10.000MHZ-B2-T is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10g, but it's recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers for specific vibration requirements and to discuss potential customizations.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends following proper ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the oscillator in an ESD-protective package. Additionally, the oscillator has built-in ESD protection, but it's not recommended to exceed 2kV of ESD voltage.
