LFTCXO073004
Overview
The LFTCXO073004 is a 26 MHz Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) from IQD's IQXT-350 series. It provides high frequency stability of +/-500ppb in an ultra-miniature 1.6 x 1.2mm footprint, making it ideal for compact wireless communication modules. Operating at 1.8V with a clipped sine wave output, it minimizes power consumption to a maximum of 1.5mA.
Why Choose This Part
The component offers exceptional stability of +/-0.5ppm over a wide temperature range of -30 to 85C. Its extremely small 1612 package size and low 1.8V supply voltage are optimized for battery-powered portable electronics. The clipped sine wave output helps reduce electromagnetic interference compared to standard CMOS outputs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Ensure a 10nF bypass capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VCC pin to minimize noise. When designing the PCB, maintain a short, direct path for the clipped sine wave output to the RF transceiver's clock input to prevent signal degradation. Verification can be performed using a high-impedance frequency counter or an oscilloscope with a low-capacitance probe.
