Overview

The ATX-13-F-38.400MHZ-F05-T is a high-precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) designed by Abracon LLC. It operates at 38.4 MHz with a clipped sine wave output, providing a highly stable frequency reference with +/-500ppb frequency stability. This component is optimized for low-power operation across a wide supply voltage range from 1.68V to 3.63V in an ultra-miniature 2.00mm x 1.60mm footprint.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the exceptional +/-0.5ppm frequency stability across the operating temperature range, which is significantly better than standard crystal oscillators. The wide supply voltage range of 1.68V to 3.63V allows for direct integration into various power domains without additional regulation. Additionally, the clipped sine wave output minimizes harmonic distortion and reduces power consumption compared to CMOS output alternatives.

Applications

GNSS/GPS Receivers
Provides the high-stability timing reference required for rapid satellite signal acquisition and accurate positioning.
LTE/5G Wireless Infrastructure
Serves as a local oscillator reference for cellular transceivers where tight frequency tolerance is critical for spectral efficiency.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and WiFi
Ensures reliable RF communication and synchronization in compact IoT devices and mobile hardware.
Smartphones and Wearables
The low profile 0.80mm height and 2016 package size are ideal for space-constrained consumer electronics.

Getting Started

When integrating this TCXO, ensure the output trace is kept short and has a load impedance of 10k ohms || 10pF as typically required for clipped sine wave stability. A 0.01uF to 0.1uF bypass capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VDD pin (Pin 4) to minimize noise. Use a standard reflow soldering profile suitable for 4-SMD no-lead ceramic packages.
