ASE-12.000MHz-E-T - ABRACON

ASE-12.000MHz-E-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T 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 does the ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T handle vibration and shock?
  The ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T is designed to withstand vibration and shock according to the IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards, respectively. However, it's recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers for specific guidance on mounting and design considerations.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T?
  The ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T 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. Consult the datasheet or Abracon's application engineers for more information.
• Can the ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T be used in high-reliability or safety-critical applications?
  Yes, the ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T is suitable for high-reliability and safety-critical applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. However, it's essential to consult with Abracon's application engineers to ensure the oscillator meets the specific requirements and regulations of the application.
• How does the ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T oscillator behave during power-up and power-down cycles?
  The ASE-12.000MHZ-E-T oscillator is designed to start oscillating within a few milliseconds of power-up, and it will continue to oscillate until power is removed. However, it's recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers for specific guidance on power-up and power-down sequencing to ensure reliable operation.
