ASCO-12.000MHZ-EK-T - ABRACON

ASCO-12.000MHZ-EK-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended termination impedance for this oscillator?
  The recommended termination impedance for the ASCO-12.000MHZ-EK-T is 15pF to 30pF. This ensures proper signal integrity and minimizes signal reflections.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-temperature environment?
  The ASCO-12.000MHZ-EK-T is rated for operation up to 85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the frequency stability and output amplitude at higher temperatures. Consult the datasheet for specific derating guidelines.
• How do I ensure the oscillator's output signal is properly decoupled from the power supply?
  Use a 0.1uF to 1uF decoupling capacitor between the VCC pin and GND pin to filter out power supply noise and ensure a clean output signal.
• What is the typical start-up time for this oscillator?
  The typical start-up time for the ASCO-12.000MHZ-EK-T is around 2-5ms. However, this can vary depending on the specific application and power supply conditions.
• Can I use this oscillator in a low-power design?
  Yes, the ASCO-12.000MHZ-EK-T has a low current consumption of around 10mA. However, it's essential to ensure the power supply can provide a stable voltage and sufficient current to maintain oscillator stability.
