Oscillator Product Family

Elkhart, IN…CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS), a global leader in the design and manufacture of electronic components, today announced the launch of model 632 quartz crystal based clock oscillator product family.

The new 3.2mm x 2.5mm clock oscillator product family, designated by model 632, provides a small mechanical solution for applications with tight real-estate constraints while requiring high performance timing or signal to noise figure. Such applications may include but not limited to; Personal Optical Network (PON), USB (IEEE 1394), or IF L.O. (local oscillator within radio transceiver).

CTS’s 632 series offers a miniature mechanical package solution while maintaining low jitter performance over wide frequency along with +/-50PPM frequency stability over commercial or industrial temperature ranges. In addition, it supports low operating voltages of 1.8VDC, 2.5VDC  2.8VDC, and 3.3VDC 

These oscillators are produced to customer specification and delivered within 8 to 10 weeks.

Model 632 Oscillator

CTS’ model 632 offers a complete oscillator solution with the following performance features;

• +/-50PPM (standard); overall frequency stability.

• Operating temperature range; –40C°~+85 C° or –10C°~+70 C°

•  LVCMOS output technology

• +1.8, +2.5 or +3.3V supply voltage with low current consumption.

• Frequency range 1~ 75MHz

• Jitter below 1ps RMS at 1σ

• Surface mount packaging for automated manufacturing supplied in 3000 piece tape and reel.

• RoHS compliant
