Description
The VI V-Type Voltage Controlled Crystal
Oscillator (VCXO) is a quartz-stabilized
square-wave generator with selectable TTL or
CMOS output. The device is hermetically
sealed in a leadless ceramic chip carrier with
6 contact pads.
The V-Type’s ultra small footprint and low pro-
file make it ideally suited to applications where
space is limited or where backside assembly
is required.

than 12 MHz, this option is not provided as the waveform tran-
sition times are small compared to the period. Hence, for fo
<12 MHz this pin should be grounded for electrical isolation.

1. This silicon oscillator is fabricated in CMOS technology and
its output waveform will swing between ground and VDD for
all but the highest frequency applications. To account for the
difference in switching thresholds between TTL logic (1.40 V)
and CMOS logic (VDD/2), the TTL/CMOS lead modifies the
“on time” of the oscillator for maximum symmetry about the
TTL or CMOS logic threshold. TTL logic low provides wave-
form symmetry for CMOS. TTL logic high or no connection pro-
vides waveform symmetry for TTL. At output frequencies less

Absolute pull range (APR) is specified by the fourth character of the
product code (seeTable 5). The APR is the minimum guaranteed fre-
quency shift from fo over variations in temperature, aging, power sup-
ply, and load. Both frequency and environment limit the specified APR.
With Vc between 0.5 V and 4.5 V, total pull range for the V-Type
VCXO is typically between 200 ppm and 400 ppm. A 50 ppm APR
V-Type VCXO will fully track a 50 ppm source oscillator or other 50
ppm reference under all specified environmental conditions.

Oscillator Aging
Quartz stabilized oscillators typically exhibit a change in out-
put frequency with age. The major factors that contribute to
this change are variations in the mechanical stress applied
to the quartz crystal and mass-loading of foreign material
upon the quartz crystal.
As the oscillator ages, relaxation of the crystal’s mounting
stress can lead to frequency variation. In some oscillator
products, additional variations may be brought about by the
transfer of external environmental stress through the device
package and crystal mounting arrangement. VI has mini-
mized these two effects through the use of a state-of-the-art
miniature AT-Cut rectangular resonator. This crystal allows a
mounting arrangement that results in minimal relaxation and
very little environmental stress transfer.
Mass-loading of the quartz resonator, which generally drives
the frequency lower, is a result of outgassing of materials
within a hermetic package or contamination from external
materials in a less than hermetic device. In general, higher fre-
quency resonators are more susceptible to this aging mecha-
nism. VI has minimized the V-Type’s sensitivity to these effects
by ensuring the hermetic integrity of the package design and
by minimizing the parts count in the device. By using monolith-
ic IC technology, the component count is reduced and the
amount of material likely to outgas is minimized.
Under normal operating conditions with an operating tem-
perature of 40°C, the V-Type VCXO will typically exhibit
2ppm aging in its first year of operation.The device is then
expected to exhibit 1ppm aging the following year and will
continue a logarithmic decline for each year there after.
