Microsemi's 9940 series of VCXO's use proven designs and hybrid construction to provide high performance in space applications that require minimal size, weight, and power.
The 9940 series utilizes 3rd or 5th overtone AT cut crystals in a Colpitts configuration with optional multiplication circuitry and output amplifier or driver stages. The precision crystals are contained within hermetic or vacuum sealed packages housed within the hybrid circuit package resulting in the lowest end of life frequency drift possible. Output frequency, output waveform, and package style can be chosen to meet a wide variety of standard and custom applications.
Mil Spec Manufacturing
The 9940 series designs are based on Microsemi's 35-year heritage of design and manufacturing techniques proven for reliability in numerous space applications. The hybrids are manufactured in a MIL-PRF-38534 class K facility in a class 100,000 clean room that ensure maximum reliability.
Ruggedized High Performance
The 9940 series has demonstrated excellent performance after exposure to high levels of shock, vibration, and radiation, consistent with the rigorous requirements of space applications.
