ECS-P85-BX

Overview

The ECS-P85-BX is a programmable crystal oscillator manufactured by ECS Inc. It operates within a frequency range of 1 MHz to 150 MHz and utilizes HCMOS output logic. The device requires a 5V supply voltage and features a dedicated enable/disable control pin for power management. It is housed in an 8-DIP package with four leads, specifically designed as a half-size metal can configuration. The unit maintains a frequency stability of 50 PPM, inclusive of temperature tolerance, aging, and environmental factors.

Feature Summary

• Programmable frequency generation capability across a wide MHz range
• Integrated enable and disable control function for power optimization
• HCMOS compatible output signal interface
• Compact half-size metal can packaging design

Applications

• General purpose clock signal generation in digital systems
• Microprocessor and microcontroller timing references
• Communication equipment requiring stable programmable clocks
• Industrial control systems needing reliable oscillator sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency order code matches the required operational range between 1 MHz and 150 MHz. Confirm that the system design supports the 5V supply requirement and accommodates the 8-DIP half-size metal can footprint. Ensure the HCMOS output levels are compatible with downstream logic inputs before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a programmable clock source is required with precise frequency tuning capabilities. The 5V operation and HCMOS outputs make it suitable for standard digital logic environments. Consider the half-size DIP package for space-constrained applications where traditional full-size oscillators do not fit. Verify thermal performance requirements against the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ECS-P85 series of programmable clock oscillators from ECS Inc. The series offers various voltage options, with the P85 variant specifically designed for 5V applications. The BX suffix typically denotes the specific package style or revision within the broader programmable oscillator family, distinguishing it from other variants like the P83 which may operate at different voltages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the ECS-P85 series that share identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. Cross-reference with ECS-P83 variants only if voltage level adjustments are acceptable in the target circuit design. Ensure any replacement maintains the 50 PPM stability and HCMOS output characteristics.
