Abracon optimizes convergence in ultra-low 80 fs jitter performance, miniature size, and power

     Abracon's AK2, AX3, AK5 and AK7 ClearClock series crystal oscillators are designed to meet carrier frequency requirements in the 100 MHz to 220 MHz range, While maintaining the demand for compact applications with data rates over 10 Gbps and up to 100 Gbps/400 Gbps.

     These devices employ a quiet third overtone architecture that avoids PLL-based doubling and greatly reduces overall power consumption far below other high performance oscillator alternatives. Typically consuming 30 mW of power at a minimum operating voltage of 1.8 V, the next generation ClearClock provides industry-leading low power consumption for low noise differential oscillators.

     The third overtone ClearClock solution provides the best combination of ultra-low sub-80 fs jitter performance in a tiny footprint. These devices are ideal for applications such as optical modules, active cables, small networking and storage devices. The series covers all necessary differential output logic types (HCSL, LVDS, LVPECL) and is available in industry standard frequencies.

     The 2.5mm x 2.0mm x 1.0mm AK2 ClearClock series provides the smallest possible profile and delivers best-in-class RMS phase jitter < Typical (at 156.25 MHz, V(DD) = + 2.5V LVDS output). These devices are guaranteed to display 200 fs RMS jitter with any offset voltage and RF output configuration on a 156.25 MHz carrier.

     The AX3 ClearClock device is available in a 3.2mm x 2.5mm x 1.0mm package size and provides the RMS jitter typical of sub-80FS. The device can be configured at + 1.8V, + 2.5V, or + 3.3V LVDS or HCSL output bias, and at + 2.5V and + 3.3V LVPECL output.
