Description
Vectron’s VCA3 Crystal Oscillator (XO) is quartz
stabilized square wave generator with a CMOS
output, operating off a 3.3 or 5.0 volt supply.
The VCA3 uses fundamental or 3
rd
overtone
crystals, for output frequencies < 80MHz,
resulting in low jitter performance, typically 0.5ps
rms in the 12 kHz to 20MHz band.

VCA3 Data Sheet
Enable/Disable Functional Description
Under normal operation the Enable/Disable is left open or set to a logic high state. When the E/D is set to a
logic low, the oscillator stops and the output is in a high impedance state. This helps reduce power
consumption as well as facilitating board testing and troubleshooting.
Tri-state Functional Description
Under normal operation the tri-state is left open or set to a logic high state. When the tri-state is set to a
logic low, the oscillator remains active but the output buffer is in a high impedance state. This helps facilitate
board testing and troubleshooting.

Handling Precautions
Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the the VCA3, proper precautions should be taken
when handling and mounting. VI employs a Human Body Model and a Charged-Device Model (CDM) for
ESD susceptibility testing and design protection evaluation. ESD thresholds are dependent on the circuit
parameters used to define the model. Although no industry wide standard has been adopted for the CDM, a
standard HBM of resistance = 1.5kohms and capacitance = 100pF is widely used and therefore can be
used for comparison purposes.

Suggested IR profile
Devices are built using lead free epoxy and can also be subjected to standard lead free IR reflow conditions,
Table 6 shows max temperatures and lower temperatures. A peak temperature of 240°C minimum should be
used to reflow the lead solder.
