Fox Electronics introduces F200 oscillators

The F200 series comes in a 2.5 x 2.0mm package and includes a standby function that reduces the oscillator's current consumption to 5mA for more efficient power usage.

The F200's extremely low current draw of 2.5mA across the 1.8-32MHz frequency range and 3.5mA across the 32.1-50MHz range makes the F200 oscillator series suitable for environments with minimal air circulation, such as compact consumer electronics and weatherproof enclosures.

The oscillators are also said to be suitable for numerous portable and battery-powered devices.

These include: satellite and terrestrial radio; WiMax, 802.11 and Bluetooth wireless; wired and optical networks for voice, data and the internet, as well as for automotive and test equipment; remote sensing equipment; and GPS.

Stabilities of the F200 range from +/-20ppm to +/-100ppm across an operating temperature range of -10C to +70C (+14F to +158F), with +/-25ppm through +/-100ppm stabilities available across an extended temperature range of -40C to +85C (-40F to +185F).

Pricing for an F200 series HCMOS Oscillator Model F205-25 (1V, 25MHz, +/-50ppm, 2.5mm x 2.0mm) starts at USD1.59 (GBP1.12) per piece in quantities of 10,000 on a standard tape and reel assembly.

Delivery is said to be eight weeks after receipt of order.
