Xpresso Oscillators for Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Applications

Fox Electronics is the leading global supplier of frequency control solutions that can cater to all your needs related to crystals, fixed and configurable oscillators, TCXOs, VCXOs, etc. With the necessity to introduce something new Fox Electronics has introduced a line of Xpresso oscillators explicitly designed to meet the needs of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 GbE applications. It also offers Xpresso oscillators optimized uniquely for fibre channel configuration. Each model in Xpresso specific application line is pre-configured to meet application specific requirements in an industry.

The Xpresso crystal oscillator is a breakthrough in configurable frequency control solution which utilizes a family of proprietary ASICs and works on the key technologies of noise reduction. Due to the enhanced features of low jitter, multiple frequencies, small package size and output options at a low price, gives it an edge over others.

XOs for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 GbE applications

Each model in this application specific model is preconfigured to meet precise application specific requirements. The series is introduced with the motive to combine Fox’s patented breakthrough Xpresso technology with the specific characteristics required to meet the demanding needs of 3.3-volts Ethernet specific applications to make sure that it delivers the best performance without spending your precious time associated with custom products. This technology bids fast delivery of low jitter, small package size and output options at a low cost.

Fox’s Ethernet specific XO oscillators offer frequency stability of ±50 ppm and with tighter stabilities can be made available upon demand. They are also obtainable in 125.00 MHz, 156.25 MHz and 312.50 MHz models.

XO for Fibre channel

Fox Electronics new line of application specific XO oscillators optimized for fibre channel configurations are off-the shelf and pre-configured to meet precise application specific requirements in an industry 7mm x 5 mm package. Having the same characteristics of fast delivery of low jitter, small package size and multiple frequencies, its distinctiveness can meet the demanding needs of specific fibre channel applications without the wait associated with custom products.

These oscillators offer a frequency stability of ±50 ppm and are available in 106.25 MHz, 159.375 MHz and 212.50 MHz models. Moreover, they also comes with tri-state enable/disable feature, thereby facilitating the users to turn the output on and off.

Both of these, application specific oscillator model features an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and a storage temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
