Programmer for PureSilcon™ Oscillators
General Description
The TimeFlash programmer allows users to
rapidly program, through a Microsoft Windows
GUI program on a PC, any DSC8XXX
Programmable MEMS oscillator to a custom
frequency in seconds. Timeflash supports the
field programmable versions of the DSC10XX
Standard CMOS and the DSC11XX Performance
oscillators. The oscillators can be programmed
over their respective frequency range in
increments of 100Hz.
The TimeFlash programming kit includes a
programming dongle, USB cable, antistatic
tweezers and USB flash drive with a Windows
based PC installation program. The TimeFlash
is used with device dependent socket adapter
cards and the appropriate DSC8XXX devices.
Available in industry standard packages, the
DSC8XXX can be “dropped-in” to the same PCB
footprint as standard crystal oscillators.
