The QT780 series is offered with a broad range of operating frequencies (230kHz to 162.5MHz) to serve a variety of LEO programs and ECCN:EAR99 listing to facilitate procurement to qualified international customers.
Reliability is essential requirement for devices in this application, this series is supported by a combination of performance specifications, including: 50kRad(Si) total dose ionisation radiation hardening and 20,000g shock resistance. Optional screening per MIL-PRF-55310, Lvl B with PIND to meet DLA specs including particle impact noise detection is also available.
Q-Tech’s low profile, small footprint (five by seven millimetres), extreme high-shock hybrid oscillators consist of an IC operating at various supply voltages (1.8, 2.5, 3.3, 5.0V) and a miniature strip quartz crystal. The series is offered in selected ceramic package configurations from surface-mount (SMT) to straight leads and formed leads.
“The QT780 Series is designed to meet the new requirements of our customers in the fast-growing, large constellation satellite market,” said Scott Sentz, Q-Tech’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “We are applying our 35-plus years of knowledge, experience and space heritage to deliver this new generation of application-optimised devices.”
