Overview

The CVHD-950-100.000 is a high-performance 100 MHz Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) from Crystek Corporation. Designed for low phase noise and high spectral purity, it provides a CMOS output from a 3.3V supply in a rugged 14.20mm x 9.14mm SMD package. It is specifically engineered for precision clocking applications requiring fine frequency adjustment via an analog control voltage.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is its exceptionally low phase noise floor, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in RF and high-speed digital systems. The wide operating temperature range of -40C to +85C and 20 ppm frequency tolerance ensure reliable performance in demanding environments. Its standard 3.3V CMOS output allows for direct integration with most modern FPGAs and clock distribution ICs.

Applications

Phase-Locked Loops (PLL)
Used as the tunable local oscillator in PLL circuits to synchronize clock signals in communication systems.
Digital Video Broadcasting
Provides low-jitter timing for high-definition video processing and transmission equipment.
Network Synchronization
Ideal for SONET/SDH and Ethernet timing recovery where high stability and frequency tuning are required.
High-Speed Data Converters
Serves as a clean sample clock for ADCs and DACs to maintain high signal-to-noise ratios.

Getting Started

When integrating this VCXO, ensure a clean, decoupled 3.3V power supply and a stable low-noise control voltage source to prevent phase noise degradation. Use a 0.1uF ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close to the VCC pin as possible. Ensure the output trace is impedance-controlled and short to minimize reflections and EMI at the 100 MHz fundamental frequency.
