Overview

The LFTVXO009915 is a high-precision Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (VCTCXO) from IQD Frequency Products, operating at a frequency of 16.384 MHz. It provides a stable HCMOS output with a tight frequency stability of +/-0.5ppm over an industrial temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. This component is designed for applications requiring high timing accuracy and the ability to fine-tune frequency via a control voltage.

Why Choose This Part

This VCTCXO offers exceptional frequency stability of +/-500ppb, which is critical for narrow-band communications. Its low current consumption of approximately 3mA at 3.3V makes it suitable for power-sensitive remote installations. The standard 7.0mm x 5.0mm 8-SMD footprint allows for easy integration into existing industrial PCB layouts.

Applications

Base Station Timing
Provides precise clock references for cellular infrastructure and wireless backhaul systems.
Ethernet Synchronization
Used in SyncE and IEEE 1588 PTP hardware to maintain accurate network synchronization.
GNSS Augmentation
Acts as a stable local oscillator for GPS/GNSS receivers to reduce time-to-first-fix (TTFF) and improve sensitivity.
Industrial IoT Gateways
Ensures reliable data packet timing and RF stability in harsh industrial environments.

Getting Started

When integrating this oscillator, ensure a 0.1uF bypass capacitor is placed as close as possible to the 3.3V supply pin to minimize noise. Use a low-noise DC source for the control voltage input on Pin 1 to maintain frequency purity. Follow standard reflow profiles for SMD modules, ensuring the peak temperature does not exceed the manufacturer's specification for the 8-SMD package.
