The Vectron VVC1 Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) is a compact, low jitter oscillator with a CMOS output. It operates at a wide temperature range and is suitable for applications such as SONET/SDH/DWDM, Ethernet, and digital video.
The VVC1/VVC2 Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) from Vectron International is a hermetically sealed ceramic SMD device offering a CMOS output, tri‑state option for board debug, and low jitter performance (<6 pS rms for frequencies >12 MHz). It is available in a small 5.0 × 7.0 × 1.8 mm package and supports either 5 V or 3.3 V operation, making it suitable for high‑speed communication interfaces such as SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet, xDSL, and digital video applications.
The datasheet lists detailed electrical performance, including a frequency range of 1.544 MHz to 65.536 MHz, typical supply voltage of 5.0 V, output logic high of 0.9 × Vop, rise/fall times of 5 ns, and operating temperature options of 0 °C to 70 °C or –40 °C to 85 °C. Reliability data, absolute maximum ratings, and standard frequency tables are also provided, along with ordering information and package dimensions.
