ACH-33.000MHZ - ABRACON

ACH-33.000MHZ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the ACH-33.000MHZ?
  Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a ground plane underneath the oscillator, and keeping the traces as short as possible to minimize noise and radiation.
• How do I ensure the ACH-33.000MHZ oscillator starts up reliably in my design?
  To ensure reliable startup, Abracon recommends a power-up ramp time of at least 1ms, and a power supply voltage that reaches the minimum specified voltage (1.8V) before the oscillator is enabled.
• What is the maximum allowable frequency deviation for the ACH-33.000MHZ oscillator?
  The maximum allowable frequency deviation for the ACH-33.000MHZ oscillator is ±50 ppm over the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
• Can I use the ACH-33.000MHZ oscillator in a design that requires a higher drive level than the specified 10pF load capacitance?
  Yes, but Abracon recommends consulting with their application engineers to determine the maximum drive level and load capacitance that can be used without compromising the oscillator's performance and reliability.
• How do I handle ESD protection for the ACH-33.000MHZ oscillator in my design?
  Abracon recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, on the power supply lines and signal lines connected to the oscillator, and following proper PCB design and handling practices to minimize ESD risks.
