TKD Programmable Oscillators combine a fixed quartz core with field-programmable frequency and output options, letting one part number cover many design needs. Frequency can be set from 1 to 200 MHz with CMOS, LVPECL or LVDS outputs, reducing inventory and lead time.
Each series delivers a standard ceramic package with factory-programmable frequency, enabling rapid prototyping and flexible inventory management. Wide frequency ranges, CMOS/LVDS output options and tight stability make them a versatile timing choice for networking, storage and industrial systems.
Available in 3225, 2520 and 2016 ceramic packages, programmable oscillators fit standard PCB footprints and reflow processes, easing design reuse across multiple projects.
Frequency and output type (CMOS, LVPECL or LVDS) are configured at the factory, so one physical device can serve different logic families by ordering the correct programmed option.
Short programming lead times let engineers receive custom frequencies within days, accelerating bring-up and design verification during early product development.
Confirm the programmed frequency, stability and output type before production and document them in the BOM to prevent mismatches between prototypes and volume builds.
For LVPECL and LVDS outputs, follow the recommended termination (such as a 100 Ω differential pair for LVDS) to maintain clean edges and low EMI at the receiving side.
Keep the oscillator close to the load, minimize trace length and decouple at VCC; a continuous ground plane beneath the package improves signal integrity.
