ABLS-16.000MHz-D-3-Y-T - ABRACON

ABLS-16.000MHz-D-3-Y-T 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 minimum of 2-layer PCB is recommended, with the oscillator on the top layer and the ground plane on the bottom layer.
• How do I ensure the oscillator starts up correctly?
  To ensure proper startup, Abracon recommends applying power to the oscillator slowly (dv/dt < 10V/us) and ensuring that the power supply is stable and noise-free. Additionally, the oscillator should be decoupled from the power supply with a 10nF to 100nF capacitor.
• What is the operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ABLS-16.000MHZ-D-3-Y-T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends handling the oscillator with ESD-protective equipment and following proper ESD handling procedures to prevent damage. The oscillator has a human body model (HBM) ESD rating of 2kV and a machine model (MM) ESD rating of 200V.
• What is the recommended soldering profile for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends a soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C, a dwell time above 220°C of 30 seconds, and a total process time of 60 seconds. The oscillator is compatible with lead-free soldering processes.
