Few electronic components have stood the test of time better than the quartz-crystal oscillator or resonator. But researchers continue to search for a quartz replacement because the components don’t ...

The classical quartz crystal oscillator is historically one of the most fragile components in an electronic system. This is not surprising since the quartz crystal resonator within the oscillator was ...

Based on a proprietary resonator technology, this 1-MHz to 125-MHz 1-ppm-resolution device delivers a low-cost high-performance solution in a small form-factor package. A strategic Alliance between ...

Integrated Device Technology has announced the availability of all-silicon cmos oscillators in wafer and package forms. According to the mixed signal semiconductor specialist, it is the only company ...

TXC is optimistic about high-end quartz crystal and crystal oscillator demand in the second half of 2023, thanks to the release of new smartphone models and AI device applications, according to the ...

All-silicon oscillators can better 100ppm over temperature, at microamp consumption levels, claimed Cheshire-based eoSemi. The firm was speaking at the launch of its first product, a 1.5×1.5mm 32kHz ...

Research project at Caltech shows terahertz oscillations possible for diverse electronics applications. Vahala's laser frequency reference (left); the quartz "tuning fork" (center) is a conventional ...

If you have an old “Racal-Dana 199x” frequency counter or similar 10 MHz internally referenced gear with a poor tolerance “standard quartz crystal oscillator” or bit better “temperature compensated ...

Watch aficionados have a certain lust for mechanical watches. These old school designs rely on a spring that’s wound up to store energy. The movement, an intricate set of gears and other mechanical ...

Texas Instruments has removed the need for external timing crystals by developing a technique for building high-grade thin film piezoelectric bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators within the ...
