Advanced crystal geometry puts oscillator in tiny package

An oscillator in the advanced tiny package of just 1.2 x 2.0 x 0.7 mm has been announced by Micro Crystal, a leading provider of quartz crystals, oscillators, OCXOs and Real-Time Clocks for the world’s leading electronics industry now offers the popular. This hermetically sealed package hosts the integrated circuit together with the XTAL. It withstands harsh environmental condition.

Aside the large supply voltage range it features very low power consumption. In active mode it draws as low as 1 μA driving one CMOS load.

Since the oscillator is running also in stand-by mode (i= 0.45 μA) the accurate frequency is available instantaneously, no delayed startup time, as typical e.g. for AT-oscillator, must be cared for.

Through factory calibration the accuracy is superior to solutions with external XTAL.

The wide supply voltage range of 1.6 to 5.5 V combined with the large operating temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C, low power consumption and small package size makes it ideal for future applications including 1earables and activity bands, IoT, smart pens, industrial computing and healthcare devices.

Automotive grade devices are ideal for emergency call units and remote keyless entry systems.
