Specifications subject to change without prior notice.
Key parameters of a VCXO:
Nominal Frequency (Fo):
Output frequency at center control voltage Vc.
Control Voltage:
The available voltage range at the input of the VCXO to vary the frequency (i.e., 0 - 5V, ±4V, etc.).
Deviation (pull range):
The change in the output frequency as a function of control voltage.
Transfer Function (sense):
Direction of change in frequency as a function of control voltage.
Temperature Range:
Operating temperature range.
Stability vs. Temperature:
Percentage, or ppm, change of output frequency with respect to the temperature range at a constant
control voltage.
•
Input Impedance:
A measure of isolation between the VCXO internal frequency control network and the control voltage source.
•
Linearity:
The deviation from the best straight line slope of the frequency vs. control voltage plot.
•
Modulation Bandwidth (rate):
The maximum allowable rate of change of the control voltage.
