AX3DBF1-148.5000T - ABRACON

AX3DBF1-148.5000T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a 50-ohm transmission line to minimize signal reflections and ensure optimal performance.
• How do I handle the crystal's sensitivity to mechanical stress?
  To minimize the impact of mechanical stress, Abracon recommends using a stress-relieved mounting method, such as using a soft adhesive or a compression mount, and avoiding direct mechanical stress on the crystal.
• What is the recommended drive level for this crystal?
  The recommended drive level for the AX3DBF1-148.5000T is 0.5-1.0 μW, which ensures optimal performance and minimizes the risk of crystal damage.
• How does temperature affect the crystal's frequency stability?
  The AX3DBF1-148.5000T has a temperature coefficient of -20 ppm/°C, which means that the frequency will decrease by 20 ppm for every 1°C increase in temperature. This should be considered when designing temperature-compensated oscillators.
• What is the recommended storage and handling procedure for these crystals?
  Abracon recommends storing the crystals in a dry, static-free environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Handling should be done with anti-static wrist straps and gloves to prevent electrostatic discharge damage.
