Small Packaged Differential Clock Oscillator

Lisle, IL – CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS) announces the release of Model 626, a high frequency low jitter clock oscillator, housed in a very small hermetically sealed ceramic package [2.5mmx2.0mm].  Model 626 features clock rates between 6MHz and 220MHz with less than 500fs phase jitter performance throughout the frequency range.  Standard LVPECL or LVDS differential output options are available, along with choice of +2.5V or +3.3V voltage operation.  To support low power chipset designs, +1.8V operation is also available for LVDS output option.

Model 626 offers typical stability options of ±20, ±25, ±30ppm and ±50ppm for standard operating temperature ranges -20°C to +70°C and -40°C to +85°C.  In addition, an extended operating temperature range is available, with ±50pmm stability over -40°C to +105°C, for use in fan-less environments.

Adding to CTS’ extensive low jitter clock portfolio, Model 626 will provide the design engineer a low cost, miniature size solution, along with high performance capabilities suitable for complex electronic systems.  This new clock model will support a wide array of market segments; covering infrastructure telecommunication networking, server applications, test and measurement, medical test equipment and much more; delivering superior phase jitter performance and a high level of frequency stability.
