I538-2O7-38.400 MHZ

Oscillators Overview

The I538-2O7-38.400 MHZ is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by ILSI America, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 38.4 MHz and utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 2.5 mm x 3.2 mm. The device features a ceramic package and gold-plated terminals with a nickel barrier, ensuring compatibility with lead-free processing standards. It offers low jitter performance without requiring a phase-locked loop (PLL). The output level is specified as HCMOS, providing a robust digital signal suitable for high-speed data transmission environments.

Oscillators Feature Summary

• Low jitter, non-PLL based output generation
• Compatible with lead-free processing and RoHS standards
• HCMOS output level for digital interface integration

Oscillators Applications

• Server and storage systems
• SONET/SDH telecommunications networks
• T1/E1 and T3/E3 digital transmission lines
• Fibre Channel interfaces

Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact output waveform and voltage requirements. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the required frequency tolerance and stability specifications for the target application environment. Confirm that the component meets the necessary environmental certifications for the intended deployment region.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-jitter clock source is required for digital communication protocols. Consider the HCMOS output compatibility with downstream logic circuits. Evaluate the thermal stability requirements against the TCXO's compensation range to ensure consistent performance across the operating temperature spectrum.

Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the I538 series of surface-mount TCXOs from ILSI America. The series is characterized by small form factors and high stability, making it suitable for portable and space-constrained electronic designs. The I538 variant specifically targets applications requiring precise timing signals in harsh thermal conditions.

Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include I538-2O7-16.000 MHZ and I538-2O7-12.000 MHZ for different frequency requirements. Cross-model alternatives may include the I537 series if clipped sine wave outputs are acceptable instead of HCMOS.
