GF-8701

Overview

The GF-8701 is a GNSS disciplined oscillator module manufactured by Volgen + Furuno. It operates at a frequency of 10MHz and utilizes a 20-DIP module package designed for through-hole installation. The component is classified as an RF oscillator within the GF-870x series. It complies with RoHS3 standards and carries an EAR99 classification. The device has reached end-of-life status, having been officially marked obsolete on May 2, 2020.

Feature Summary

• Provides GNSS-disciplined timing stability via integrated satellite navigation synchronization
• Delivers a precise 10MHz reference output signal
• Utilizes a standard 20-DIP module form factor for direct board integration

Applications

• Evaluation kit testing for multi-GNSS disciplined oscillators
• Timing reference systems requiring satellite-synchronized accuracy
• RF infrastructure supporting high-stability clock generation

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and no longer in production. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or approved replacement parts. Direct substitution with the GF-8801 is documented. Ensure compatibility with existing system requirements before sourcing surplus inventory from secondary markets.

Selection Notes

Designers should consider the GF-8801 as a direct replacement due to the obsolescence of the GF-8701. Verify that the replacement maintains required interface and performance specifications. Review updated datasheets for any changes in pinout or electrical characteristics between the legacy and successor models.

Part Context

The GF-8701 belongs to the GF-870x series of GNSS disciplined oscillators produced by Volgen + Furuno. This series includes variants such as the GF-8702 and GF-8703, which share similar functional architectures but may differ in specific configuration options. The series supports evaluation kits for development purposes.

Replacement Considerations

The GF-8801 is listed as a direct substitute for the GF-8701. Both are manufactured by Volgen + Furuno. Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility during migration from the obsolete GF-8701 to the active GF-8801 part number.
