ASGTX-D-1.2890625GHZ-1 - ABRACON

ASGTX-D-1.2890625GHZ-1 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Abracon recommends following the recommended PCB layout guidelines in the datasheet, including using a solid ground plane, minimizing trace lengths, and avoiding vias near the oscillator. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a solid ground plane.
• How do I ensure the oscillator is properly terminated?
  The ASGTX-D-1.2890625GHZ-1 oscillator requires a 15pF load capacitance for proper termination. Ensure that the load capacitance is connected between the output pin and ground, and that the PCB layout is designed to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.
• What is the operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ASGTX-D-1.2890625GHZ-1 oscillator is rated for operation over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the frequency stability and jitter performance at extreme temperatures.
• Can I use this oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ASGTX-D-1.2890625GHZ-1 oscillator is designed to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-883, Method 2002.4 for vibration. However, it's recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers to ensure the oscillator meets the specific vibration requirements of your application.
• What is the recommended power supply decoupling for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends using a 10uF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 100nF ceramic capacitor, both connected between the power supply pin and ground, to ensure proper power supply decoupling and noise filtering.
