Fox Electronics Whats new at Fox

Fort Myers, Fla. March 5, 2012 - Fox Electronics, a leading global supplier of frequency control solutions, now offers the widest range of AEC-Q200-qualified crystal oscillators, which meet the stringent stress test requirements set for passive components used in automotive applications. The new oscillators are available with a frequency range of 2 MHz up to 135 MHz, -40°C to +85°C, with 2 MHz to 48 MHz available from -40°C to +125°C.

Certified to AEC grades 1-4 as well as to the ISO/TS-16949 specification, Fox's FA5xx and FA4xxx series withstand the rigorous environmental and operational conditions to which automobiles are subjected.

Due to their compliance with these stringent industry testing parameters, the oscillators are ideal for use in a variety of automotive safety and diagnostic applications, where reliability is critical to protecting the occupants. These include tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), navigation, antilock brake systems (ABS), air bags and proximity sensors. They can also be cost-effectively used for in-car multimedia applications, such as entertainment systems and back up cameras.

Frequency stabilities are as tight as ±25 ppm with aging of just ±5 ppm per year at 25°C. Standard configurations include package sizes of 7 mm x 5 mm and 5 mm x 3.2 mm in voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V or 3.3 V, with more options available upon request.

The seam-sealed oscillators are RoHS- and REACH-compliant with gold terminations. Both series feature an output load of 15 pF (HCMOS), a start-up time of 10 mS and a standby current of 10 uA as well as output disable and enable times of 100 nS and 10 mS, respectively. Output symmetry is 40% to 60%, with 45% to 55% available upon request.

Fort Myers, Fla. January 9, 2012 – Fox Electronics, a leading global supplier of frequency control solutions, recently released a new TCXO in a compact 2.5 mm x 2.0 mm x 1.0 mm package making them ideal for GPS applications.

The new FOX922-GP Series oscillators are available in six supply voltage options ranging from 1.8 V to 3.3 V (±5% standard) for increased adaptability to any platform. Offering a tight stability of up to ±0.5 ppm across a vast operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, the RoHS-complaint SMD (surface mount device) oscillators with a gold termination finish are best suited for portable applications requiring precision timing.

Standard frequencies for the new TCXO oscillators range from 16.367667 MHz to 38.400 MHz with ten varieties offered.

Fort Myers, Fla. August 17, 2009 - Fox Electronics, a leading global supplier of frequency control solutions, has expanded its XpressO oscillator series to include a 2.5 V LVPECL VCXO version in a 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm package size, one of the industry's smallest, with a frequency range from 0.75 MHz through 1.0 GHz.

The new FVXO-PC52 oscillators are ideal for use in SONET, 10GbE, Fibre Channel, wireless repeaters, transponders, HDTV, FPGAs, data acquisition, and military communications.

The cost-effective Fox XpressO oscillator series is a breakthrough in configurable frequency control solutions. These oscillators and VCXOs utilize a family of proprietary application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), designed and developed by Fox, with a key focus on noise reduction technologies as well as significantly lower levels of jitter.

The FVXO-PC52 oscillators employ a third order Delta Sigma Modulator (DSM) to reduce noise to levels comparable to traditional bulk quartz and SAW oscillators. The state-of-the-art technology utilized in these oscillators enables the optimum selection of the output type, input voltages and temperature performance features.

The LVPECL VCXO versions offer shorter lead times and are guaranteed to be shipped within 24 hours for samples and within 10 days maximum for production quantities.

The LVPECL VCXOs offer a frequency resolution to six decimal places, an absolute pull range (APR) of +50 ppm and operating temperatures of -20°C to +70°C or -40°C to +85°C.

These oscillators feature miniature 5 mm x 3.2 mm packaging, including industry standard footprint and pin-out; are fully RoHS compliant; have a tri-state enable/disable feature; and are constructed with a gold over nickel termination finish. In addition, this series offers Fox's patented serial identification system with comprehensive traceability to ensure quality control. All finished XpressO parts are 100% final tested.

Pricing for a FVXO-PC52B XpressO VCXO Oscillator at 250 MHz in quantities of 1,000 is $3.16. Delivery is next day for samples and 10 days for volume production.
