ASE2-20.000MHZ-LC-T - ABRACON

ASE2-20.000MHZ-LC-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a ground plane underneath the oscillator to minimize noise and radiation. A minimum of 10 mil clearance around the device is recommended.
• How do I ensure the oscillator starts up reliably in my design?
  To ensure reliable startup, Abracon recommends a power supply ramp-up time of 1 ms or slower, and a power supply voltage of at least 1.8V. Additionally, a 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ pull-up resistor on the output pin can help ensure startup.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ASE2-20.000MHZ-LC-T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, but Abracon recommends derating the frequency tolerance by ±0.05 ppm/°C for temperatures above 70°C.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ASE2-20.000MHZ-LC-T is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10 G peak acceleration, but Abracon recommends additional testing and validation for specific vibration profiles to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, on the oscillator's input and output pins to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
