FOXSLF/115-20 - Fox

FOXSLF/115-20 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power supply decoupling for the FOXSLF/115-20?
  Fox Electronics recommends using a 10uF to 22uF decoupling capacitor between the VCC pin and GND, placed as close to the oscillator as possible, to ensure stable operation.
• How do I ensure the FOXSLF/115-20 oscillator starts up reliably?
  To ensure reliable startup, Fox Electronics recommends applying power to the VCC pin slowly, with a rise time of at least 1ms, and using a bypass capacitor between VCC and GND to filter out noise.
• What is the maximum load capacitance for the FOXSLF/115-20?
  The FOXSLF/115-20 can drive a maximum load capacitance of 15pF. Exceeding this limit may affect the oscillator's frequency stability and amplitude.
• Can I use the FOXSLF/115-20 in a noisy environment?
  While the FOXSLF/115-20 is designed to operate in a variety of environments, it's still susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To minimize the impact of noise, use proper PCB layout techniques, such as separating the oscillator from noisy components and using a ground plane.
• How do I adjust the frequency of the FOXSLF/115-20?
  The FOXSLF/115-20 frequency can be adjusted by connecting a resistor (R1) between the CLKOUT pin and GND. The frequency adjustment range is limited, so consult the datasheet for specific values and calculations.
