ASTX-H12-24.000MHZ-T - ABRACON

ASTX-H12-24.000MHZ-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. The oscillator should be placed as close as possible to the microcontroller or IC it is driving.
• How do I ensure the oscillator starts up reliably in my design?
  To ensure reliable startup, Abracon recommends a power-up ramp time of at least 1ms/V, and a power supply voltage that is within the recommended operating range. Additionally, the oscillator should be decoupled from the power supply with a 0.01uF capacitor.
• What is the maximum allowable frequency deviation for this oscillator?
  The maximum allowable frequency deviation for the ASTX-H12-24.000MHZ-T is ±20 ppm over the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
• Can I use this oscillator in a harsh environment, such as high vibration or extreme temperatures?
  While the ASTX-H12-24.000MHZ-T is a ruggedized oscillator, it is still recommended to consult with Abracon's application engineers to determine the suitability of the oscillator for specific harsh environment applications.
• What is the typical lead time and minimum order quantity for this oscillator?
  The typical lead time for the ASTX-H12-24.000MHZ-T is 6-8 weeks, and the minimum order quantity is 1000 pieces. However, these can vary depending on the specific requirements and availability, so it's best to check with Abracon or an authorized distributor for the latest information.
