Oscillators & Integrated Circuits
Ultra-stable timing devices, clocking, and broad-option ICs for avionics, comms, ISR, and unmanned systems—engineered for tight stability, low jitter, and harsh environments. From TCXO/OCXO/VCXO to clock generators, jitter cleaners, and fan-out buffers, etc. - we support deterministic timing and ICs across your full signal chain.
Why Choose A&D Oscillators, Clock ICs, and other Hi-Rel Components?
Pinpoint Stability & Holdover
Tight ppm options and disciplined timebases ensure deterministic timing in mission-critical systems and power-sensitive subsystems.
Low Jitter / Phase Noise & Clock Integrity
Clean oscillators paired with jitter cleaners and low-skew buffers improve RF links, high-speed serial I/O, and sensor fusion accuracy.
Rugged & Traceable
Screening, documentation, and full traceability streamline vendor packet reviews and program audits.
SWaP-Efficient
Compact packages and power profiles fit avionics and unmanned platforms with strict size, weight, and power budgets.
System-Level Clocking
Clock generators, PLL/DPLL devices, jitter attenuators, and fan-out buffers simplify distribution and margining across FPGAs and SoCs.
Key Features of A&D Oscillators & Clock ICs
| Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| High temperature stability | Accurate clocks across wide operating ranges; reduces drift in avionics and comms chains. |
| Screening & traceability | Supports compliance and vendor packet reviews with documented, reproducible results. |
| Low phase noise / sub-ps jitter selections | Improves RF performance and timing margins in radios, radars, and high-speed links. |
| Programmable frequency options | Consolidate SKUs, accelerate prototypes, and tune exact outputs without redesign. |
| Clock generators & jitter cleaners | Centralized frequency planning and jitter attenuation for complex multi-domain designs. |
| Clock distribution & fan-out buffers | Low-skew, low-additive-jitter distribution to FPGAs/SoCs, ADCs, and transceivers. |
| Package & interface breadth | Drop-in alternatives for legacy designs and new builds across oscillator families and IC pinouts. |
