Micro Networks has developed a series of low cost voltage controlled SAW oscillators (VCSOs) ideal for high performance telecommunication applications. The M600 series of VCSOs utilize Micro Networks' capacity in the design of high performance oscillators featuring low phase noise and jitter over a frequency range of 300 MHz to 900 MHz. These devices are well suited for phase locked loop applications as well as clock and data recovery and clock smoothing circuits used in OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 SONET/SDH systems.
The M600 series is available in a 28-pin surface mount package and offers an output disable feature that forces the output into a static condition, enabling an external clock to control the output frequency. Operating from a single 5 V supply, the M600's differential outputs are 10 K/ 100 K PECL logic compatible.
