ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK - ABRACON

ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK crystal oscillator?
  Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a ground plane underneath the oscillator, and keeping the traces as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.
• How do I ensure the ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK oscillator starts up reliably in my design?
  To ensure reliable startup, Abracon recommends using a CMOS-compatible driver, keeping the load capacitance within the recommended range, and providing a stable power supply with minimal noise and ripple.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK oscillator?
  The ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK oscillator is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, but it's recommended to derate the frequency tolerance and stability over the full temperature range.
• Can I use the ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK oscillator in a design that requires a specific frequency tolerance or stability?
  Yes, Abracon offers custom frequency tolerance and stability options for the ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK oscillator. Contact Abracon's technical support for more information and to discuss specific requirements.
• How do I handle ESD protection for the ACHL-32.000MHZ-EK oscillator in my design?
  Abracon recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, in conjunction with proper PCB layout and handling practices to prevent damage to the oscillator.
