Rakon launches best-in-class low g-sensitivity TCXO

Rakon has released the RPT7050LG, a low g-sensitivity TCXO with excellent stability in a 7.0 x 5.0 x 1.5 mm package size. With a guaranteed sensitivity of ≤0.1 ppb/g, it is currently the most advanced compact low g-sensitivity TCXO on the market. This ultra-stable TCXO is built with Rakon’s proprietary Pluto+2^TM ASIC and XMEMS^® technologies, resulting in ±0.2 ppm stability over the extended temperature range of -55 to 105°C. Nominal frequencies are available from 10 to 52 MHz.

With guaranteed low g-sensitivity of ≤0.1 ppb/g and ±0.2 ppm stability over an extended temperature range, the RPT7050LG can operate under high vibration levels and within harsh temperature environments. Applications include defence, precision GNSS, avionics, telecommunications, Real-Time Kinematics (RTK), positioning and navigation.

Built on Rakon's XMEMS^® nanotechnology, the product has a high-Q crystal at the heart of the frequency generator. This enables the TCXO to generate a constant, highly accurate frequency and achieve best-in-class stability in a small form factor.

Main features:

• Extended operating temperature -55 to 105°C
• Fast start-up time: 5 ns (for a 3.3 V device)
• Low power consumption
• Excellent long-term stability (ageing): ±1 ppm/year, 3 ppm/10 years
• Clipped sinewave and CMOS output options available
• Low phase noise (see Figure 1)
