MEMS oscillator fits fibre-channel applications
IQD Frequency Products
IQMS-900 MEMS oscillator
At Electronica 2010, IQD announced the availability of a high-frequency MEMS oscillator for applications such as fibre channel, Ethernet 10G, HDMI, SATAS and USB3.
The IQMS-900 series MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) oscillator is available in a frequency range from 1 to 800MHz.
The model can be factory programmed with either a LVDS (low-voltage differential source) or LVPECL (low-voltage positive emitter coupled logic) output.
The plastic-packaged IQMS-900 series is available in two sizes: 7 x 5 or 5 x 3.2mm.
Due to its MEMS technology design, phase jitter is typically 0.7ps at 200MHz.
Two supply voltages are available - 3.3 and 2.5V.
Frequency stabilities can be specified at +/-10ppm over an operating temperature range of 0 to 70C or +/-15ppm over -40 to 85C.
MEMS technology is based on the process techniques of CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon) and, as such, can be produced on standard production lines in foundries that are more used to producing standard or custom integrated circuits.
The IQMS-900 range is suitable for incorporation into infrastructure equipment, where it will provide accurate timing processes, coupled with the ability to drive the latest high-speed processors that will enable the transfer of high data rates.
These devices are RoHs compliant and are available on tape and reel for production purposes.
