ABLS7M2-14.7456MHZ-D2Y-T - ABRACON

ABLS7M2-14.7456MHZ-D2Y-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 at least 1ms, and a power supply voltage that is within the recommended operating range. Additionally, the oscillator should be decoupled from the power supply with a 10nF capacitor.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ABLS7M2-14.7456MHZ-D2Y-T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, but it can be extended to -55°C to +125°C with derating. Consult the datasheet for derating information.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ABLS7M2-14.7456MHZ-D2Y-T is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10g, but it's recommended to consult Abracon's vibration testing report and to perform additional testing to ensure the oscillator meets the specific vibration requirements of your application.
• 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. The oscillator itself has built-in ESD protection, but it's not a substitute for proper handling procedures.
