Silicon Oscillators

One External Resistor Sets the Frequency from 17MHz to 170MHz

Need a clock that's simple, tiny and robust? Linear Technology's resistor-set oscillators now provide speeds up to 170 MHz with just a SOT-23 IC and one resistor. Since the frequency is set by the resistor, you can pick ANY frequency you want - perfect for running FPGAs, CPLDs, microcontrollers and DSPs right where you want them. And unlike crystals, they are solid state devices, making them inherently immune from shock and vibration over the -40°C to 125°C temp range.
