Epson Programmable Oscillators
Programmable oscillators give engineers unmatched flexibility in today’s fast-paced design environments. They reduce inventory, accelerate prototyping, and provide precise frequency customization—all from one base device.
Design Flexibility & Simplified Development
Programmable oscillators give engineers the freedom to specify virtually any output frequency with a single device. Instead of managing multiple fixed-frequency parts, one programmable platform can cover a broad range of applications—from communications and networking to industrial control, automotive, and aerospace systems.
This flexibility reduces design complexity, accelerates development cycles, and supports quick turnaround for prototypes. By programming frequencies on demand, Dove helps design teams validate concepts faster and move into production with fewer supply chain constraints.
Supply Chain Efficiency & High-Reliability Performance
Dove-programmed (and in some cases factory-programmed) oscillators simplify qualification, lower inventory costs, and provide an easy path to second-sourcing as production ramps. This adaptability helps purchasing teams maintain continuity even in dynamic market conditions.
For high-rel and mission-critical designs, these oscillators deliver excellent frequency stability and tight tolerances across temperature ranges. Their proven reliability makes them a trusted choice in aerospace, defense, industrial, and other precision-driven environments.
Key Features
- Custom Frequency Output: 1 MHz to 170 MHz
- Low Jitter & Phase Noise: Perfect for high-speed designs
- Rapid Prototyping: Same/next-day programming
- Reduced SKU Count: Cover dozens of needs with one part
How They’re Programmed
Frequencies are stored in internal memory and set at authorized distributor programming centers (Dove), or (in special cases) in the field using I²C/SPI.
Dove Electronic Components offers quick-turn oscillator programming for Epson —with turnaround measured in hours, not weeks.
When to Use a Programmable Oscillator
- Rapid Prototyping: Test multiple frequencies without delay.
- Low/Medium Volume Production: Cost-effective for 100–10,000+ units.
- Protocol Flexibility: Support Ethernet, PCIe, USB, and more with one series.
- Inventory Simplification: Reduce supply chain complexity.
- High-Performance Systems: Achieve <100 fs jitter and ±25 ppm stability.
