ASFL1-2.000MHZ-LC-T - ABRACON

ASFL1-2.000MHZ-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 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane is ideal. Keep the oscillator away from high-frequency signals and ensure a clear return path for the ground connection.
• How do I ensure the oscillator starts up reliably in my design?
  To ensure reliable startup, Abracon recommends a power-up ramp time of 1-10 ms, a power supply voltage within the specified range, and a stable temperature environment. Additionally, ensure the oscillator is not subjected to excessive noise or EMI during startup.
• What is the maximum allowable frequency deviation due to temperature changes?
  The ASFL1-2.000MHZ-LC-T has a specified frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm over the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This means the frequency can deviate by up to ±40 Hz due to temperature changes.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ASFL1-2.000MHZ-LC-T is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels. However, Abracon recommends consulting their application notes and performing vibration testing to ensure the oscillator meets the specific requirements of your application.
• What is the recommended storage condition to prevent damage or degradation?
  Abracon recommends storing the ASFL1-2.000MHZ-LC-T in a dry, cool place with a relative humidity of 60% or less. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical stress.
