Description
The NCD2400M is a dedicated electronic calibrator for
oscillators, with reliable performance at 105ºC as
required by OCXO applications.
This product can be used in series or shunt
configuration to support a wide variety of tuning circuit
topologies.
Digitally controlled capacitance trimming information is
communicated via a 2-wire, I
2
C Fast-mode compatible
interface. The preferred power-up default capacitance
value can be stored in the internal, re-programmable,
non-volatile memory.

Absolute maximum voltages are with respect to GND.
Absolute maximum electrical ratings are over the
operating temperature range.
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings. Stresses in
excess of these ratings can cause permanent damage to
the device. Functional operation of the device at conditions

is the voltage applied to capacitor pins CP and CN. It should never exceed 3.6V in operation, and should never be less than
-0.3V. Sufficient DC bias must be applied to the capacitor pins to prevent the AC signal from violating this specification. Pins CP and CN are
not self biased.

There are three erase commands and three non-volatile write commands to program the Non-Volatile Register. This time is for each of the
three non-volatile write commands, not the sum of all three commands. The timing requirement also applies to each of the three erase
