F4100-100 datasheet by Fox Electronics

F4100-100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the F4100-100?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC before enabling the oscillator output (OE) pin. This ensures proper initialization and prevents unwanted oscillations.
• How do I ensure the F4100-100 oscillator is in a stable state during power-up?
  To ensure a stable state during power-up, add a 10-100 nF capacitor between the VCC pin and GND. This helps to filter out any voltage spikes and ensures a smooth power-up sequence.
• What is the maximum frequency deviation I can expect from the F4100-100?
  The maximum frequency deviation of the F4100-100 is ±50 ppm over the entire operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). This deviation is due to internal crystal aging and temperature effects.
• Can I use the F4100-100 in a noisy environment with high electromagnetic interference (EMI)?
  Yes, the F4100-100 is designed to operate in noisy environments with high EMI. The oscillator's internal circuitry is designed to reject noise and ensure stable operation. However, it's still recommended to follow proper PCB design and layout practices to minimize EMI effects.
• What is the maximum output load capacitance for the F4100-100?
  The maximum output load capacitance for the F4100-100 is 15 pF. Exceeding this capacitance may affect the oscillator's stability and frequency accuracy.
