Clock oscillators boast high stability

Accordingly, with three models (Z series 1-3) in five sizes each, the Z series offers easy to use clock oscillators. To ensure high productivity and a short leadtime, the Z series adopts a new platform structure.

Every model shares the same common head unit, just the bottom bases vary in size.

As crystal, package and IC each consist of common material, the Z series is available at a very competitive price.  

Z series 1 covers a frequency range from 1.5MHz to 160MHz by a custom IC with PLL function. Within the regular operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it grants a frequency stability of +/- 20ppm. At higher temperatures up to 125°C, the stability is still at +/-30ppm.

The lead-time for series 1 is just one day. Z series 2 offers the same specifications as Series 1, but comes with an improved frequency stability of +/- 2ppm.

Samples are available fully programmed to required frequency and stability within one week.

By combining the very tight frequency tolerance of series 2 with tailor made crystals to bypass PLL for a low jitter performance, Z series 3 marks the flagship of Kyocera’s new oscillators.

It features a frequency range from 24MHz to 60MHz. Samples of this series are available within a lead-time of seven weeks. 

Each series works with a supply range from 1.71V to 3.63V and has a current consumption of 2.85mA.

Further features are a CMOS Output and an enable/disable function.

They are available with automotive grade AECQ100/200 as well.

Target applications include Consumer, Networking and Industrial.
