October 2, 2008: Ecliptek Corp. has expanded its EMO family of MEMS oscillator products to include a new MEMS spread spectrum low EMI output surface mount oscillator.
The EMS series oscillators reduce EMI at the clock source, potentially eliminating the use of supplemental shielding enclosures and/or filtering components later down the clock stream. This reduces system costs and improves overall EMI performance. Applications for the EMS series include set-top boxes, medical equipment, scanners, printers, LCD displays, and communications equipment.
Standard specifications for the EMS series include a frequency range of 1MHz to 200MHz; 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V supply voltage; ±50ppm or ±100ppm frequency stability; LVCMOS single ended output; programmable spread percentages of ±0.25%, ±0.50%, and ±1.00% center spread; and -0.5%, -1.0%, -2.0% down spread; spread spectrum enable/disable function; and tri-state or power down options for a high impedance output.
