FMXC6000

Overview

The FMXC6000 is a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates at a center frequency of 10 MHz with an operating supply voltage range of 9 VDC to 15 VDC, typically utilizing 12 VDC. The device draws a maximum current of 15 mA and features a CMOS output format terminated via an SMA connector. It exhibits typical phase noise performance of -100 dBc/Hz and second harmonic levels of -14 dBc. The module measures 31.75 mm x 31.75 mm x 14.43 mm and functions within a temperature range of -30°C to 75°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates temperature compensation for stable 10 MHz reference generation
• Provides CMOS logic output signals through an integrated SMA interface
• Operates on standard DC supply voltages with low current consumption

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment requiring stable clock references
• Communication systems needing precise frequency synchronization
• Electronic instrumentation utilizing 10 MHz timing standards

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels or direct manufacturer verification. Confirm that the specific unit matches the FMXC6000 designation and includes appropriate RoHS compliance documentation. Check for any product change notices regarding manufacturing updates. Ensure storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this oscillator when a fixed 10 MHz reference signal is required rather than a tunable frequency source. Consider the CMOS output compatibility with downstream digital circuitry. Evaluate the SMA termination style against existing board layout constraints. Verify that the 12 VDC supply requirement fits within the system power architecture.
