SINE WAVE SOURCES
Q-TECH
CORPORATION
DUAL-IN-LINE CRYSTAL CLOCK OSCILLATORS
5.0 to 15Vdc - 10Hz to 450MHz
Description
The Q-Tech Sine Wave Sources encompasses state-of-the-art
sinewave source with low harmonic distortion and a precise
sinewave output.
A flexible design allows Q-Tech Corporation to offer a
variety of choices of output power and load. Based on this
flexibility, Q-Tech welcomes specifications with parameters
other than standard. An external trimming capacitor option
is available for applications that require a tight frequency
stability.
The AT-Cut crystal utilized in the design allows for high
stability for a particular temperature range extending from
-55ºC to +125ºC. For more information, please refer to the
stability vs. temperature on the following page.
The reliable construction of these sinewave oscillators
qualifies them for more stringent environmental
applications. Military screening per MIL-PRF-55310, Level
B is available as an option.

Heat
Hybrid Case

Substrate
Heat spreading occurs when heat flows into a material layer of
increased cross-sectional area. It is adequate to assume that
spreading occurs at a 45° angle.
The total thermal resistance is calculated by summing the
thermal resistances of each material in the thermal path
between the device and hybrid case.
RT = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5
The total thermal resistance RT (see figure 2) between the heat
source (die) to the hybrid case is the Theta Junction to Case
(Theta JC) in°C/W.
• Theta junction to case (Theta JC) for this product is 24°C/W.
• Theta case to ambient (Theta CA) for this part is 106°C/W.
• Theta Junction to ambient (Theta JA) is 130°C/W.
Maximum power dissipation PD for this package at 25°C is:
• PD(max) = (TJ (max) – TA)/Theta JA
• With TJ = 175°C (Maximum junction temperature of die)
• PD(max) = (175 – 25)/130 = 1.15W
