Vishay adds 2 more oscillators to XOSM family

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. expanded its XOSM family of clock oscillators with the release of two miniature, low-voltage, surface-mount oscillators rated for 1.8V and 2.5V input voltages.

According to the company, the new devices are intended to enable design of better-performing, longer-running battery-powered electronic devices since it occupies the same small footprint as a standard 5-by-7mm oscillator, while providing low-voltage options that improve performance of clock oscillator circuits in portable computing and telecommunications equipment such as notebook computers, cellphones, pagers and PDAs.

The new XOSM-571 (1.8V) and XOSM-572 (2.5V) serve as lower-voltage alternatives to Vishay's standard XOSM-57 (5V) and XOSM-573 (3.3V) surface-mount oscillators. Both products feature a dimension of 7-by-5-by-1.6mm, and each package offers a tri-state enable/disable function that contributes to efficient operation. With lower input voltage ratings, these devices also reduce heat dissipation and thereby improve system reliability. They offer a frequency range of 1MHz to 100MHz with frequency stability options of ±25ppm, ±50ppm and ±100ppm. Typical aging for the first year is ±5ppm.

The new oscillators, which are HCMOS-compatible and compatible with IR re-flow processes, are available in tape-and-reel packaging. All devices in the XOSM family of clock oscillators are Pb- free. Samples and production quantities of the XOSM-571 and XOSM-572 are already available. Lead time for production quantities is eight weeks.
