Abracon’s new AST3TDA and AST3TDA53 temperature-controlled oscillator (TCXO) series provide the ideal tradeoff between precision timing performance and small size to meet emerging 5G design requirements. The VC/TCXO devices are ideal for 5G infrastructure applications such as macro base stations (AAU, DU/CU), small cells (Micro, Pico, Femto), and Wifi-6/6E.

The cloudification and densification of networks continues to propel demand for 5G telecommunication technology, increasing the performance and board space pressures placed on applications from smart devices and edge computing to electric vehicles and automotive ADAS.

The ultra-performance TCXOs deliver high precision holdover accuracy and stability over temperature performances in the most popular industry package sizes. For example, the 7.0 x 5.0 mm AST3TDA series can support a tight ±50ppb frequency stability up to a high 105ºC operating temperature.
