Oscillators exhibit a number of frequency/period instabilities.
Frequency jitter has become popular in the last few years as a term that defines the short-term stability of a frequency source.
The Jitter and Timing Analysis (JTA) option provides all the parameters and functions to measure long term, short term, and environmental stability of clock oscillators.
Cardinal Components Inc. Product Qualification Report for PLL Programmable Clock.
This document is a detail qualification report for Cardinal Components, Inc. Oscillator Part Series CPP outlining the tests performed, a summary of the test results, and actual test data.
Phase Locked Loops (PLL) circuits are used for frequency control.
Gated or keyed oscillators are turned on and off rapidly. This type of operation often causes frequency changes or “chirps”.
Cardinal Components Programmable Dual Frequency Oscillator vs Two Separate Oscillators using Multiplexers.
At the core of almost all modern digital systems is a high accuracy timebase based on a crystal oscillator.
Quartz crystal units serve as the controlling element of oscillator circuits by converting mechanical vibrations to electrical current at a specific frequency.
