ASE-20.000MHZ-E-T - ABRACON

ASE-20.000MHZ-E-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the ASE-20.000MHZ-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-20.000MHZ-E-T handle vibration and shock?
  The ASE-20.000MHZ-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-20.000MHZ-E-T?
  The ASE-20.000MHZ-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-20.000MHZ-E-T be used in high-reliability or safety-critical applications?
  Yes, the ASE-20.000MHZ-E-T is designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of high-reliability and safety-critical applications, such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. However, it's essential to consult with Abracon's application engineers and follow the recommended design and testing guidelines.
• How does the ASE-20.000MHZ-E-T oscillator behave during power-up and power-down cycles?
  The ASE-20.000MHZ-E-T oscillator is designed to start oscillating within a few milliseconds after power-up, and it will stop oscillating within a few microseconds after power-down. However, the exact behavior may vary depending on the specific application and design. Consult Abracon's application engineers for more information.
