ECS-P83-AX

Overview

The ECS-P83-AX is a programmable crystal oscillator (XO) manufactured by ECS Inc. It utilizes HCMOS output logic and operates at a supply voltage of 3.3V. The device supports frequency outputs ranging from 1 MHz to 125 MHz. It features an enable/disable control function for power management. The component is housed in an 8-DIP package with four leads, described as half-size. It complies with RoHS standards and is lead-free.

Feature Summary

• Programmable frequency generation capability within the specified range
• HCMOS output logic for digital interface compatibility
• Integrated enable and disable control functionality
• RoHS compliant and lead-free construction

Applications

• Clock signal generation for digital circuits
• Embedded system timing references
• Communication equipment synchronization
• Industrial control unit clock sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency order code suffix required for the target application, as the base model number denotes the series rather than a fixed frequency. Confirm that the 3.3V supply voltage aligns with the system design requirements. Ensure the 8-DIP half-size package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints. Check for any specific enable pin configuration needs in the circuit design. Validate compliance with environmental regulations if applicable to the end product.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a programmable HCMOS clock source is required at 3.3V. Consider the operating temperature range and stability specifications against the application environment. Evaluate the need for the enable/disable feature for power optimization. Compare the physical footprint of the 8-DIP half-size package against available board space. Ensure the frequency range covers the necessary operational bandwidth.

Part Context

The ECS-P83 series represents a line of programmable clock oscillators designed for versatile timing applications. The P83 variant specifically targets 3.3V systems, distinguishing it from the 5V P85 series. These components are engineered to provide stable clock signals with programmable frequencies, offering flexibility in system design without requiring external tuning components.

Replacement Considerations

The ECS-P83-A is listed as a direct substitution option. Verify that the electrical characteristics and pinout remain identical before replacement. Ensure the substitute part meets the same RoHS and lead-free requirements. Confirm that the packaging type matches the existing assembly process.
