Epson announces the world’s first multiple-output SAW oscillator: stakes and opportunities.

Introduced, today Connectikpeople has observed that, the new MG-7050 family of multiple-output SAW oscillators (MOSO) aims to allow networking, storage, and computing equipment manufacturers to reduce size, cost, and power without compromising performance or reliability.

According to Epson this new MG-7050 family achieves very low
jitter (120 fs rms @ 156.25 MHz and 50 fs @ 700 MHz integrated phase jitter 12 kHz – 20 MHz) suitable for the most demanding applications.

In addition, the MG-7050 family:

·        Integrates a complete timing chain, a SAW oscillator, frequency dividers, and fan-out buffers  

·        achieves the same jitter performance as Epson’s industry-leading XG-2121 and XG-2102 series of SAW oscillators.

·        Epson’s MG-7050 family includes a programmable frequency divider

·        can provide two frequencies, which can further reduce the BoM and cost.

Finally, Connectikpeople may recall that, to accommodate a variety of systems, Epson offers the new MG-7050 MOSOs in 2- and 4-output configurations and three output types: LV-PECL, LVDS, and HCSL.

Regarding the Epson’s MG-7050, it is provided in a small 5 mm x 7 mm x 1.6 mm package.
