ASCO2-27.000MHZ-EK-T3 - ABRACON

ASCO2-27.000MHZ-EK-T3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended termination impedance for this oscillator?
  The recommended termination impedance for the ASCO2-27.000MHZ-EK-T3 is 15pF to 30pF. This ensures optimal signal integrity and minimizes signal reflections.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-temperature environment?
  The ASCO2-27.000MHZ-EK-T3 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 or contact Abracon support for more information.
• How do I ensure the oscillator is properly decoupled from the power supply?
  To ensure proper decoupling, use a 0.01uF to 0.1uF ceramic capacitor between the VCC pin and GND, and a 10uF to 22uF electrolytic capacitor in parallel. This will help filter out noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the typical start-up time for this oscillator?
  The typical start-up time for the ASCO2-27.000MHZ-EK-T3 is around 2ms to 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 ASCO2-27.000MHZ-EK-T3 has a low current consumption of around 10mA to 20mA, making it suitable for low-power designs. However, ensure that the power supply can provide a stable voltage and sufficient current to maintain oscillator operation.
