Q-TECH
CORPORATION
RADIATION TOLERANT MICROCOMPUTER COMPENSATED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
3.3Vdc - 5 to 100MHz, 32.768kHz and 1PPS
Q-Tech’s microcomputer compensated crystal oscillator,
MCXO, uses a high stability overtone SC-cut crystal with mi-
croprocessor controlled compensation. The self-temperature
sensing resonator, using a dual-mode oscillator, virtually
eliminates thermometry related errors. As a result, all basic
TCXO and OCXO limitations are overcome or significantly
reduced in the MCXO.

RADIATION TOLERANT MICROCOMPUTER COMPENSATED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
3.3Vdc - 5 to 100MHz, 32.768kHz and 1PPS
QT2020C
QT2020S
Frequency Output range is 5MHz to 100MHz.
Pins #3, 7,
19, 21,
Case Ground. This pin provides negative voltage (0V) to the MCXO. It is connected to the oscillator case to reduce EMI.
33:
Pins #1, 13:
Reference Input. This input can be configured as Frequency Correction or Synchronization 10MHz or 1PPS. The
configuration is one time programming at the factory according to customer request. In case of Synchronization option,
MCXO output will be locked to external signal as soon as it is applied to the input. With no signal applied, the MCXO
maintains specified stability over temperature and time. In case of Frequency Correction setup, the MCXO performs one
time routine to adjust frequency to reference signal. When signal is provided to the pin, the MCXO starts aging correction
routine and synchronizes both frequency and timing mode outputs to the reference signal. The routine takes about 10-15
seconds. After frequency is synchronized, the MCXO continues to operate as normal. In order to perform synchronization
again, the reference should be disconnected and connected one more time. Precision of synchronization is +/-5PPB.
Pin #29:
1PPS Output. This output provides 1PPS (1Hz) HCMOS signal. It also can be configured to provide 32.768 kHz HCMOS
signal. The configuration is one time programming at the factory according to customer request.
Pins #26, 30:
Synchronization Options. See Table II for detailed synchronization options. All operations are performed while in
‘Frequency Mode’ (See Pin #5, Mode Select).
Pin #5:
Mode Select. This pin is responsible for MCXO operating modes. If low level (<0.5V) signal is applied to the pin, MCXO
will start to operate in Frequency Mode. It will output signal with specified frequency at the pin #20. Pin #29 will be
disabled. Power consumption will be according to Frequency Mode specification. If high level (>2.8V) signal is applied to
the pin, MCXO will start to operate in Timing Mode. It will output 1PPS or 32.768 kHz signal at Pin #29. Power
consumption will be according to Timing Mode specification. Pin #20 will be disabled.
Pin #32:
Status. Status output has low level signal during normal operation. It provides low frequency signal (2-4Hz) for 5-10 seconds
after power is applied to Pin #38. It goes high during aging correction routine. It also goes high in case of MCXO
malfunction. It can be connected to LED to indicate MCXO status.
Other Pins:
Not Connected. Leave these pins not connected. They have internal functions and grounding them may lead to MCXO
malfunction.

Pin #38:
Voltage Supply. This pin provides positive voltage (3.3V) to the MCXO. Minimum value of bypass capacitor is 2.2uF. It
has to be installed close to Pin #38.
