Disciplined oscillator offers extended holdover

Disciplined oscillator offers extended holdover

The IQCM-200 is a disciplined OCXO, incorporating sync to a 1 PPS (pulse per second) input as well as a 1 PPS output. Its exceptional holdover stability and accuracy makes this particular product a superlative Disciplined OCXO.

The IQCM-200 is part of a series of disciplined OCXOs available from IQD. This particular model is the smallest sized OCXO capable of achieving a holdover capability of 1.5µs over 24 hours meaning you can rest assured your devices can continue to function with incredible accuracy during a holdover period.

This ‘best in class’ holdover stability of up to 1.5 μs over 24 hours across 0 – 60 °C, and 25 µs typical in 10 days at 25 ±2 °C is achieved using an adaptive algorithm. Internal parameters of the algorithm, including maintenance alarms and message functions are available to the user via a serial interface. A Frequency stability better than ±0.02 ppb is achievable.

Extensive in-house testing of the ICQM-200 has been carried out by our engineers here at our laboratory in the UK. In these controlled tests the holdover achieved by the IQCM-200 after 10 days was a very impressive 25.5 μs, ideal if your application requires a longer holdover than 24 hours. Tests also concluded ADEV figures as 2.2E-12 @ τ = 1 s.

Due to its exceptional holdover times, this product is ideal for applications that require an accurate time reference, Telecoms LTE and 5G timing, and PTP GM clocks with the required IEEE 1588 holdover support, and within White Rabbit applications. This particular model will be an excellent asset to power sector products which require increased holdover times due to the emerging changes and requirements within this sector. The IQCM-200 is compliant with MiFID II.

An IQCM Evaluation Board is also available for this series (contact . Details on all the tests carried out including the 10 day holdover can be found in the IQCM-200 handbook. For your copy please contact sales and support teams at any time.

    Something weird going on, think it needs Dudley  and cstanton  expertise.

    The URL is broken, but it was definitely working before. 

    This works (if you prepend https:// to it):

    uk.farnell.com/c/crystals-oscillators/oscillators/oven-controlled-ocxo-oscillators?st=IQCM-200

    However, this one fails, and gives a 403 response:


    uk.farnell.com/w/c/crystals-oscillators/oscillators/oven-controlled-ocxo-oscillators?CMP=e14c-direct-ugc&st=IQCM-200&COM=e14c-direct-ugc&osetc=e14c-direct-ugc&COM=e14c-direct-ugc&osetc=e14c-direct-ugc

    Error screenshot (it's not a PC issue, I see the same thing on my mobile phone, and most users don't wish to clear cookies : )

    Hello Nick, thanks for the additional information.

    I wasn't suggesting that the IQCM-200 was overpriced - merely that it would be hard to judge its performance without something rather better than I have available, and that very few E14 members will have such equipment.

    The 1.5us hold over is relatively easy to measure but other types of frequency or phase deviation in the 0.02ppb class are a bit more demanding.

    Hi Michael, the quickest way to test this might be with one of these, be sure to stipulate whether you want the GNSS receiver with it or not. as this affects the price. 

    https://portal.iqdfrequencyproducts.com/products/details/iqcm-evboard.pdf

    As for cheaper options, your right there are many other ways to achieve a 10MHz GPS disciplined reference frequency. Where this product stands out is when that GPS signal is lost, this product will continue to generate the 1PPS (and 10MHz), and continue to be within 1.5us of the original 1PPS phase (with a logarithmic decay here so a lot better for shorter time periods)

    I wonder how many E14 members have the gear to evaluate it. I run a 10MHz GPS disciplined local frequency standard but it comes form a box which retails at less than15% of the price of the IQCM-200 !

    None the less - I would be happy to have a play with one ....

    It's been corrected now, but the 1-off price makes it hard to evaluate; think this product needs some reviews/RoadTest to learn more.
