Wayne, NJ—August 27, 2001—Cardinal Components, Inc., a broad-line crystal and oscillator manufacturer, is continuing on its path of customer-directed innovations in introducing the DUAL FIPO Field Instantly Programmable Oscillator (FIPO), CPPD series. The DUAL FIPO is remarkable for its incredibly low jitter and switchable on-the-fly frequency.

The DUAL FIPO has the fastest start-up time and the lowest jitter for a programmable part equivalent to standard fixed frequency parts. It has a low cost benefit, and with its switchable on-the-fly frequency feature, the dual frequency programmable is the only programmable available in the world that can satisfy two different frequencies on one board with one output. Just toggle pin one to switch between Fo and F1. Change your frequency in real time between two frequencies with no external timing components required. The result is a faster, higher-quality, lower-cost product that saves engineering development time, component count, and board space.

The DUAL FIPO (CPPD Series) has 2.7, 3.3, and 5.0 supply voltage capability. In addition, the DUAL FIPO programmable oscillator can drive CMOS, HCMOS, ACMOS, and TTL outputs. The DUAL FIPO(CPPD Series) can also be programmed to fit any frequency requirement between 1 Mhz and 133 Mhz, for any application within a broad range of markets where multiple frequencies are needed for transmitting and receiving functions, such as Broadband Electronics, Energy feedback, Cable Networks, Wireless (Bluetooth) (3G), Home Automation, Residential Gateways, Communication Towers, Digital Set Top Boxes, Intelligent Transportation, the emerging technologies combining Voice-Video-Data over a single line, IP-PBX/IP Telephone sets, VOIP, Interactive TV, and the smarter appliance markets.

Cardinal, the leader in Field Instantly Programmable Oscillators (FIPO products) brings another “World’s First” innovation to the crystal and oscillator markets.
