ITAR Free 508-Series Includes XO, VCXO and TCXO Options in 9×14 Packages

MUNICH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vectron International, a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of Precision Frequency Control and Timing Solutions, today announced its new 508-series of small, low G-sensitivity clocks and oscillators. All 508 series products include a rugged 4-point mount crystal, ideal for low G-sensitivity military, industrial and other harsh environment applications. Each product in the new line achieves industry-leading noise performance in an extremely small 9×14 package, critical in supporting customer’s increased need for portability. This product will be showcased in Hall B5, Booth 237 at electronica 2010, from November 9-11.

“In addition, by building XO, VCXO and TCXO options into the same platform, the rigorous military qualification testing process can be simplified, leading to time and cost savings for our customers.”

Just as the proliferation of mobile and handheld devices are driving consumers’ increased data usage, the military is also increasing its data consumption while requiring smaller, more portable equipment. Higher mobile data consumption escalates phase noise requirements and design engineers cannot afford to sacrifice performance or reliability for size. Vectron’s 508-series incorporates its leading low-jitter clocks into the industry’s smallest low G-sensitivity package.

“Our military and aerospace customers have been searching for a solution to their need for high-reliability, high performance clocks and oscillators in the small package required for portable applications,” said Greg Smolka, vice president, Industrial, Military and Space, Vectron International. “In addition, by building XO, VCXO and TCXO options into the same platform, the rigorous military qualification testing process can be simplified, leading to time and cost savings for our customers.”

The product line includes an XO, VCXO and TCXO, to meet the specific oscillator requirements of each design.

• PX-508, a low G-Sensitivity XO with a stability range of +/- 40 ppm [-55..+105°C] to +/- 15 ppm [-20..+70°C]
• VX-508, a low G-Sensitivity VCXO with a stability range of +/- 40 ppm [-55..+105°C] to +/- 15 ppm [-20..+70°C]
• TX-508, a low G-Sensitivity TCXO with a stability range of +/- 0.8 ppm [-40..+85°C] to +/- 0.28 ppm [-20..+70°C]

For those unclear on what they want to achieve, the planning of any software development project can take a lot of time to complete. During this planning phase there are many things to think about, including downtime, database effects, the affect on other programs relying on this one etc. This is either extremely easy or extremely difficult depending on how the development is organized. The company undertaking the development will also have to plan to cope with the training of employees, lowered production times during installation and all unforeseen problems that may and normally do occur.

Knowing when changes are due to happen is an integral part of software development planning and can cause confusion during this process. If the stages are completed to deadline however, the planning of any software product can be an easy task. The amount of time it will take to train employees, find office space etc. will have to be part of any long term plans of a company if they wish to outsource their development requirements to another company. The minimum time the planning of any software project should be a year, this then allows ample time to identify and eliminate all problems before the actual developing starts!

The planning of a software project can be a costly business, everyone knows research and development are often the most expensive parts of any project, but, if done properly, the long term benefits outweigh all of this expense. The planning process should be completed before starting any new project involving updating databases, systems and any other programs that are to affect a company on a large scale. This is a big reason why proper and complete planning is essential in order to successfully complete a project on this scale. Every few years, companies are faced with updating their computer systems. Planning can make these updates much easier to install and use by everyone.
