The **M3V12V2J-R** is a specific surface-mount (SMD) high-precision voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) manufactured by **MtronPTI**. It is designed for applications requiring high stability and low jitter. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Component Type** | VCXO (Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator) | | **Operating Voltage** | 3.3 VDC (±5%) | | **Output Type** | LVCMOS / HCMOS | | **Package Size** | 5.0 x 7.0 mm (Ceramic SMD) | | **Frequency Stability** | ±20 ppm to ±50 ppm (Depending on variant) | | **Pullability (APR)** | ±100 ppm Minimum | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | | **RoHS Status** | RoHS Compliant (Lead-free) | --- ### 2. Pin Configuration The M3V series typically follows a standard 6-pad layout for surface mounting: | Pad # | Function | Description | |:---:|:---|:---| | **1** | **Control Voltage (Vc)** | Adjusts the output frequency. | | **2** | **Enable/Disable** | Logic high or open for output; Logic low for high-impedance. | | **3** | **Ground (GND)** | Case ground. | | **4** | **Output** | High-speed CMOS signal output. | | **5** | **No Connect / Comp** | Often used for internal compensation or left floating. | | **6** | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | +3.3V Input Power. | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions #### Frequency Control (Pullability) The "V" in VCXO indicates that the output frequency can be "pulled" or adjusted slightly by changing the voltage on Pin 1. This is critical for **Phase Locked Loops (PLLs)** where the oscillator must synchronize with an external reference signal. #### Low Jitter Performance This part is engineered for low phase noise. In digital communication, high jitter causes data errors; the M3V12V2J-R minimizes these fluctuations to ensure clean signal timing. #### Industrial Durability The `-R` suffix generally denotes compliance with REACH/RoHS standards and high-reliability packaging, making it suitable for hardware that operates in harsh thermal environments. --- ### 4.
