Ecliptek Frequently Asked Questions
1.
What are the Ecliptek EV series of oscillators?
These Ecliptek oscillator series are voltage controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO). These product series utilize a
quartz crystal oscillator where the output frequency is controlled by an external control voltage applied to the input
of the oscillator and the output frequency varies as a function of the input voltage.
Back to Top
2.
How do the EV series of oscillators work?
A VCXO is a crystal controlled oscillator where the output frequency of the device is being controlled by the
crystal and an external control voltage. VCXO's are designed with a varactor replacing a fixed capacitor internal to
the oscillator. A varactor diode is a semiconductor device that behaves as a variable capacitor when a voltage is
applied to it. Thus, when a change in the control voltage is applied to the control pad of the oscillator, it causes a
change in the capacitance of the varactor diode. This results in a change in the overall load capacitance seen by
the crystal internal to the oscillator. These changes in the circuit load capacitance cause changes in the oscillator
output frequency due to crystal loading. As a result, variations in output frequency are achieved by variations in
the external control voltage. This phenomenon is often called frequency modulation.

11.
How do I specify a VCXO?
There are two common methods customers and suppliers use for specifying VCXO's. The first method is to
specify the performance of the device inclusive of all operating conditions. This is called the APR Method. The
second method is to specify device performance under specific operating conditions and to specify separate
operating parameters such as frequency deviation, frequency tolerance, frequency stability over operating
temperature range, supply voltage, output load, and aging. This is called the Separate Method.
These oscillator series use the APR Method for specifying the VCXO. This method utilizes the absolute pull range
(APR) definition. The advantage of the APR Method is that a customer can simply specify one parameter, APR,
rather than specifying many individual parameters such as frequency deviation, temperature stability over
operating temperature range, output load, supply voltage, and aging.
See the table below for a comparison of the APR Method and the Separate Method.

Ecliptek Frequently Asked Questions
12.
What is APR?
APR stands for absolute pull range. APR is defined as the minimum guaranteed frequency deviation (specified in
±ppm) from the nominal frequency (F0) over all operating parameters. These operating parameters include:
frequency tolerance, frequency stability over operating temperature range, supply voltage, output load, and aging.
For example, a 35.328MHz VCXO used in a PLL clock recovery circuit that has a ±50ppm minimum APR
specification will track or capture a ±50ppm maximum 35.328MHz source oscillator under all operating conditions.
Back to Top
13.
How do I specify the APR for these product series?
For frequencies from 1.544MHz to 36.000MHz, these product series offer the following APR options: ±50ppm,
±80ppm, and ±100ppm minimum. For frequencies greater than 36.00MHz to 51.840MHz, these product series
offer both the ±50ppm APR and ±80ppm APR option. For frequencies greater than 51.840MHz, these product
series only offer the ±50ppm APR option.
Back to Top
14.
What are the control voltage range and control voltage specifications for these product series?
The control voltage range (VCR) is the minimum and maximum voltage that can be applied to the voltage control
pad (pad 1) of the oscillator. The control voltage range is 0.0VDC to VDD (Supply Voltage) for these product series.
The control voltage (VC) is the voltage applied to the voltage control pad (pad 1) of the oscillator for the
measurement of the APR test conditions. The control voltage is dependent upon the specific product series.
The table below outlines the control voltage for each series.

What are the pullability or frequency deviation specifications for these product series?
The pullability or frequency deviation of a VCXO refers to the amount of frequency change (in ppm) with respect
to a change in the control voltage (VC). These parameters are specified when using the Separate Method
mentioned above. The Ecliptek EV product series do not specify VCXO pullability or frequency deviation, these
series specify the APR Method. As a matter of interest, the total pullability or frequency deviation of these product
series is typically 200ppm to 400ppm over the control voltage test conditions, depending upon the APR option
specified by the customer. If a customer would like to specify a VCXO using the Separate Method, please contact
the Ecliptek Global Customer Support Team.

Back to Top
18.
What is oscillator aging and what are the aging specifications for these product series?
Aging is the systematic change in frequency with time due to internal changes in the crystal and/or oscillator.
Aging is often expressed as a maximum value in parts per million per year [ppm/year]. The rate of aging is
logarithmic in nature. The following factors effect crystal aging: adsorption and desorption of contamination on the
surfaces of the quartz, stress relief of the mounting and bonding structures, material outgassing, and seal
integrity. At a rated operating temperature of 25°C, these series of products typically age at a rate of ±2ppm over
the first year, ±1ppm over the following year, logarithmically declining each year thereafter. The aging parameters
can be found on the applicable series datasheet. It should be noted that oscillator aging is inclusive of the APR.
Back to Top
19.
What are the rms phase jitter and phase noise characteristics for these product series?
RMS Period Jitter is a time domain measurement and is specified in picoseconds (pS) as a maximum value.
Phase noise is a measure in the frequency domain and is specified in decibels at various offset points from the
carrier (-dBc/Hz). Phase jitter, often called offset jitter, is derived from the phase noise measurement of the
spectral density over a given offset bandwidth. Ecliptek uses a proprietary design, exclusive processing methods,
and a unique ASIC output driver circuit enabling these product series to have exceptionally low jitter and phase
noise. The rms phase jitter and phase noise parameters can be found on the applicable series datasheets.
Back to Top
20.
Do these product series offer tri-state output capability?
These product series offer tri-state output control on pad five (5) or on pad two (2). The output is three-stated (tristate condition) when the voltage at the control pad is set to a logic low state. In this condition, the oscillator
continues to operate, but the output pad is now in a high impedance state. If the voltage at the control pad is set
to no connect or a logic high state, the output is enabled (clocking). Note: The oscillator has an internal pull up
resistor on the control pad. The table below outlines the tri-state input control pad for each series.

What is the transfer function and what is the transfer function for these product series?
Often called slope, the transfer function of a VCXO is the direction the frequency changes with respect to the
control voltage. Positive slope means the output frequency increases with an increase in control voltage. Negative
slope means that the output frequency is increasing with decreasing control voltage. The transfer function for
these oscillator series is positive.

24.
What is linearity and what are the linearity specifications for these product series?
Often called monotonic linearity, this parameter is the calculation of the frequency error expressed in percentage
with reference from the best straight line curve fit drawn on the output frequency versus control voltage graph.
The linearity curve is the relationship between output frequency versus control voltage. The linearity specifications
can be found on the applicable Ecliptek datasheet. In a phase locked loop application, the linearity requirements
may be very loose, while in a frequency modulation application the linearity requirement may be very stringent.

What are the modulation bandwidth and input impedance specifications for these product series?
Often called tuning or video bandwidth, modulation bandwidth (MBW) is the modulation frequency at the input of
the VCXO at which the output frequency deviation decreases to -3dB of its DC value. Input impedance specifies
the load of the VCXO control input pad (pad 1). The MBW and input impedance parameters can be found on the
applicable Ecliptek datasheet.

26.
Is start-up time specified for these product series?
Start-up time for these series is specified at 10mSec maximum. Note: In order to ensure proper start-up, the
power supply start-up should have an exponential curve typical of a capacitive charge of a linear voltage ramp. If
you have a special voltage start-up profile (i.e. odd ramp steps or shapes), please contact us to discuss possible
oscillator performance issues.
