ECS-P83-A

Overview

The ECS-P83-A is a programmable HCMOS output clock oscillator manufactured by ECS Inc. It operates on a nominal 3.3V supply voltage and features an enable/disable function with tri-state outputs. The device supports a frequency range from 1 MHz to 125 MHz with a total frequency stability of ±100ppm. It utilizes a standard 8-pin DIP package for through-hole mounting, suitable for existing PCB footprints.

Feature Summary

• Programmable crystal-controlled oscillator design
• HCMOS output interface with enable/disable control
• Standard 8-pin DIP footprint for easy integration

Applications

• General-purpose digital circuit timing
• Microprocessor clock generation
• Communication interface synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating temperature range required for your application, as documentation indicates variations between -40°C to 85°C and 0°C to 70°C for similar P83 series variants. Confirm that the ±100ppm total frequency stability meets system jitter requirements. Ensure the 3.3V supply voltage aligns with your power architecture before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency programmable oscillator in a DIP package is required. The ±100ppm stability is suitable for general digital logic applications. Consider the ECS-P85 series if a 5V supply voltage is necessary instead of the 3.3V provided by the P83 series.

Part Context

The ECS-P83-A belongs to the ECS-P83/ECS-P85 family of programmable clock oscillators. These devices are designed to replace discrete crystal and gate combinations, offering a compact solution for generating precise clock signals. The P83 series specifically targets 3.3V logic systems, while the P85 series serves 5V systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ECS P83 series variants with compatible frequency specifications. Verify pin compatibility and voltage levels when cross-referencing with generic programmable oscillators.
