ACO-2.097152MHZ - ABRACON

ACO-2.097152MHZ 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 the oscillator should be placed as close as possible to the IC it is driving. 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 is properly terminated?
  The ACO-2.097152MHZ oscillator requires a 15pF ±10% load capacitance for proper termination. Abracon recommends using a 15pF ceramic capacitor with a 10% tolerance, and placing it as close as possible to the oscillator output.
• What is the operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ACO-2.097152MHZ oscillator is rated for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the frequency stability and aging characteristics for operation outside the -20°C to +70°C range.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD suppressors, on the oscillator output to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. The oscillator itself has some level of ESD protection, but additional protection is recommended for high-reliability applications.
• What is the recommended power supply decoupling for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends using a 10uF ±10% ceramic capacitor with a 10% tolerance for power supply decoupling. The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the oscillator's power supply pin, and a 1uF ±10% ceramic capacitor can be added in parallel for additional filtering.
