TCXO

A TCXO automatically compensates an oscillator by generating a voltage to correct the variation of the frequency over temperature. This helps provide a very stable output frequency for the user. A VCXO allows the user to manually adjust a control voltage to compensate for all instabilities in the output frequency. This device is used to bring the oscillator back to frequency after being impacted by instabilities (e.g. long term stability). VCTCXOs are a combination of these two products and help provide a very stable frequency and a manual adjustment of other instability impacts.

Rakon’s US-TCXOsinclude patented 'tilt compensation' and ASIC designs to help provide superior TCXO performance. US-TCXOs are often used in applications such as Stratum 3, 5G RRHs, C-RAN Radio equipment, emergency personal locator beacons and g-sensitive equipment for defence applications.

Both LVCMOS and HCMOS are part of the CMOS family. LVCMOS is a low voltage (LV) variant of CMOS and runs at lower voltages (less than 5V), whereas HCMOS (High speed CMOS) is used in applications where a more rapid rise/fall time response is required and where the output voltage level is not a limiting factor.
