Microchip Adds the LX-820 Quartz Oscillator to its L-Series Timing Portfolio Developed for Low Earth Orbit Applications

MCHP
  • Microchip Technology expanded its L-Series timing devices with the launch of the LX-820 Radiation-Tolerant Quartz Oscillator for Low Earth Orbit & space applications.
  • The L-Series portfolio bridges the gap between commercial off-the-shelf oscillators & traditional high-reliability space products by combining graded components with hybrid manufacturing.
  • Devices have passed Total Ionizing Dose testing up to 50 krad & Single-Event Latchup testing to 40 MeV·cm²/mg, utilizing swept quartz to reduce frequency drift.
  • The series addresses supply chain constraints & budget pressures by offering configurations from stock or with lead times under 20 weeks.
  • The new LX-820 features a compact 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm surface-mount package, operates from -55°C to 125°C, & meets MIL-PRF-55310 Level B standards.
  • The LX-820 provides ±100 ppm performance with CMOS outputs from 1.25 MHz to 135 MHz & LVDS outputs from 100 MHz to 250 MHz.
  • Microchip's L-Series includes crystal oscillators (XOs), temperature-compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs), oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs), & pulse-per-second disciplined oscillators.
  • The LX-820 & other L-Series oscillators are now available in production quantities through sales representatives or authorized distributors.
