The SaRonix NTH / NCH series is a 3.3V crystal oscillator suitable for low power, low jitter, and high frequency requirements in networking applications. The oscillator has precise rise and fall times and a tri-state function that allows the output to go high impedance. The product is packaged in a 14 or 8-pin DIP package with a metal grounded case to reduce EMI. SMD DIL14 versions for IR reflow are also available.
The SaRonix NTH/NCH series are crystal‑controlled, low‑current clock oscillators offering low jitter and high‑frequency operation up to 106.25 MHz. They feature a tri‑state output on the NTH version, allowing the output to be placed in a high‑impedance state, and are available in 14‑pin or 8‑pin DIP packages as well as true SMD versions.
Designed for networking and high‑speed applications such as ADSL, Ethernet, Fibre Channel and 32‑bit microprocessors, the devices operate from a 3.3 V supply and provide HCMOS output levels. Detailed mechanical, environmental and electrical specifications are provided for each package option.
