38.4 MHz TCXO LVCMOS Oscillator 3.3V Enable/Disable 10-SMD, No Lead
Active

Overview

The SIT5356AI is a high-precision MEMS Temperature Compensated Oscillator (TCXO) designed for Stratum 3+ grade stability. It operates at 38.4 MHz with a 3.3V supply, offering an exceptionally tight frequency stability of +/-100ppb over a wide temperature range of -40C to 85C.

Why Choose This Part

This MEMS-based device provides significantly better resistance to shock and vibration compared to traditional quartz TCXOs. It achieves Stratum 3+ performance in a compact 5.0mm x 3.2mm package, making it ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability designs.

Applications

Precision Timing for 5G/LTE
Provides the stable reference clock required for small cells and base stations to maintain network synchronization.
GNSS Positioning
Enables faster time-to-first-fix and improved accuracy for GPS and Galileo receivers by reducing frequency drift.
Industrial Ethernet
Ensures reliable packet timing in IEEE 1588 PTP and Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) industrial communication hardware.
Smart Grid Infrastructure
Serves as a reliable clock source for power line monitoring and phased measurement units that require long-term stability.
