ECS-P85-B

Overview

The ECS-P85-B is a programmable oscillator manufactured by ECS Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in a DIP-8 package. It operates on a 5V supply voltage and delivers an HCMOS output signal. The device supports a frequency range from 1 MHz to 150 MHz with a total frequency stability of ±50 ppm. Maximum supply current is specified at 45 mA, and it functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Programmable frequency generation capability across a wide spectrum
• HCMOS output interface compatible with standard logic levels
• Through-hole DIP-8 packaging for reliable board integration

Applications

• Clock generation for microcontroller systems
• Timing reference for digital communication interfaces
• System clock sources for embedded hardware designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency configuration required for your application before ordering, as this is a programmable device. Confirm that the DIP-8 through-hole package aligns with your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the 5V supply voltage matches your system power rails. Check that the ±50 ppm stability meets your timing requirements. Validate the operating temperature range against your environmental conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency crystal is insufficient due to varying clock speed needs. The programmable nature allows for design flexibility without changing physical components. Consider the DIP-8 form factor if surface-mount options are not viable. The 5V HCMOS output simplifies interfacing with legacy or standard logic circuits. Evaluate the ±50 ppm stability against jitter-sensitive applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to ECS Inc.'s programmable oscillator family, offering adjustable clock frequencies. Unlike fixed oscillators, it provides versatility in system design. The DIP-8 package distinguishes it from surface-mount alternatives like the ECX series. It serves as a direct replacement for fixed-frequency crystals where frequency agility is required.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacements must match the DIP-8 through-hole package, 5V supply, and HCMOS output characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and frequency range overlap when sourcing alternatives.
