Euroquartz added a new range of low-EMI oscillators, which are a ‘drop-in’ replacement for standard clock oscillators. The new low-EMI options offer a low-cost solution to expensive EMI problems by approaching EMI problems at the source – the system clock oscillator.
The new low-EMI oscillators, designated as the HM572 N series, use spread spectrum techniques to reduce EMI emissions from the oscillator by 8 to 15dB. Spread spectrum technology spreads the mode energy over a wider bandwidth and as the low EMI oscillator spread spectrum technique operates in the kHz region, the process is transparent to the oscillator operating frequency. This increases resistance to natural interference, noise and jamming.
