To highlight the benefit that Elite TCXOs offer in real-world applications, this slide illustration compares the frequency error of the Elite product family compared to a traditional quartz solution for two environmental conditions. The devices are first subjected to a fan, and then to a heat gun. In both cases, the Elite TCXO’s frequency error is insignificant, whereas the quartz device’s output frequency undergoes dramatic changes. This makes Elite easy to design with, because designers can place the TCXO anywhere on the board, even without covering it with a plastic or metal cap.
