7L-26.000MCS-T

Oscillators Overview

The TXC Corporation 7L-26.000MCS-T is a Voltage-Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (VCTCXO) operating at a nominal frequency of 26 MHz. It utilizes a clipped sine wave output and functions within a supply voltage range of 2.5V, with an absolute maximum rating of 3.6V. The component exhibits a frequency stability of ±2 ppm across an extended industrial temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. Designed for surface-mount applications, it features a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 2.50mm x 2.00mm x 0.80mm. The device draws a maximum supply current of 2mA and supports control voltages typical for VCTCXO tuning.

Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific control voltage range and tuning sensitivity requirements against your circuit design before procurement. Confirm that the 2.5V supply voltage aligns with your system's power architecture. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the 4-SMD no-lead dimensions of 2.50mm by 2.00mm. Check for RoHS3 compliance if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate that the clipped sine wave output is compatible with the input thresholds of the receiving logic circuitry.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when application demands exceed standard TCXO stability but require lower power consumption than oven-controlled options. The 26 MHz frequency is suitable for clock generation or RF carrier synthesis. Consider the 2mA current draw for battery-operated systems. The extended temperature range makes it appropriate for outdoor or automotive-adjacent industrial uses. Compare against the 7L-26.000MCG-T if different tuning characteristics are needed.
