Vectron's FX-102 is a crystal based frequency translator which is used to translate any input
frequency such as 8 kHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 19.440 MHz etc. to any specific frequency from
77.76 to 155.52 MHz. The input frequency does not have to be a 50/50% duty cycle and as an
example can be an 8 kHz signal with a logic high "on time" of only 1us, such as a BITS clock. The
FX-102 also has the ability to translate up to any of 4 different input frequencies to one common
output frequency, such as input frequencies of 8 kHz and 1.544 MHz and 19.44 MHz and any
other frequency between 333 Hz and 155.52 MHz translating them to any specific output
frequency from 77.76 MHz to 155.52 MHz.
The "Input Frequency tracking capability" is the total amount of input frequency deviation in which
the FX-102 is guaranteed to track or translate. As an example, a typical input clock would be
8 kHz ± 20 ppm. The FX-102 is guaranteed to track at least ±40 ppm of error over temperature/
aging/ power supply and is more than twice what most applications require. The PLL control
voltage is brought out through a 470K ohm resistor. This would allow for the use of external
circuitry (analog comparators or an A/D converter plus a processor) to detect when the control
voltage is getting close to the limits of the pull range.

Logic "1" indicates a locked condition and requires a couple hundred pF capacitor to ground to
operate correctly.
Logic "0" indicates that no input signal is detected and can be used as a loss-of-signal alarm.
Toggles when not locked.
Under locked conditions, should be >0.3V and <3.0 V for the 3.3 volt option or >0.5V and <4.5V
for the 5 volt option. Input frequency may be out of range if voltage exceeds these limits.

This FX-102 should not be subjected to a wash process that will immerse it in solvents.
NO CLEAN is the recommended procedure.

FAQ
s
Q: What are the different input frequencies Available?
A: The FX-102 is able to handle any input frequency between 333 Hz and 155.52 MHz.
(A list of standard frequencies is available on page 7.)
Q: How many different input frequencies can a specific FX-102 accept?
A: Each FX-102 can be programmed to accept up to 4 different frequencies.
Q: If there is only one input pin, how can your unit accept 4 different frequencies?
A: The customer is required to supply a multiplexer which would switch between the
different input frequencies. The multiplexersselect pins would need to be sync to
d
the select pins of the FX-102. (The drawing above illustrates this configuration.)
