ABM2-15.000MHZ-D4Y-T - ABRACON

ABM2-15.000MHZ-D4Y-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a ground plane underneath the oscillator to minimize noise and radiation. A minimum of 10 mil clearance around the device is recommended.
• How do I ensure the oscillator starts up reliably in my design?
  Ensure the power supply voltage is within the recommended range (1.8V to 3.3V) and has a low noise floor. Also, add a 10nF to 100nF decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND close to the oscillator.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ABM2-15.000MHZ-D4Y-T is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the frequency tolerance by ±0.5ppm/°C for temperatures above +70°C.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ABM2-15.000MHZ-D4Y-T is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10g peak acceleration (10Hz to 2kHz). However, it's recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers for specific vibration requirements.
• What is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the internal capacitors?
  The internal capacitors have an ESR of approximately 5 ohms. This value can be used for impedance matching and filter design.
