Description

The MK3721SLFTR is a low-cost, low-jitter electronic component model designed by ICS/MicroClock. It is a 3.3-volt VCXO (Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator) that aims to replace expensive VCXO modules. This model utilizes ICS/MicroClock's patented VCXO techniques and requires an inexpensive external crystal in the range of 16.2 - 28 MHz to produce an output clock at the same frequency.
