Main Features
In order to stabilize the communication environment using TCXOs, the KT5032F has achieved a high ±100ppb (±100×10-9) overall frequency stability with optimum specifications for three characteristics: power supply voltage characteristics, 24H aging, and temperature characteristics. Furthermore, by fully utilizing Kyocera Kinseki's miniature element design technology, the company has been able to realize the world's smallest TCXO. When compared to conventional Kyocera Kinseki TCXOs, it has a 54% smaller footprint and greatly contributes to reducing size and power consumption.
1. World's smallest size
In addition to the combination of miniature element design technology, miniature quartz processing technology and high-precision assembly technology — accumulated through the company's experience in developing mobile phone components, GPS equipment and car navigation systems — Kyocera Kinseki has succeeded in miniaturizing the quartz crystal oscillator with its high quality synthetic quartz growth technology.
2. High-precision, highly reliable overall frequency stability of 100ppb (±100×10-9)
In order to facilitate the TCXO's usage in micro base stations, high-precision overall frequency stability was realized through not only temperature characteristics, but by also adding power supply voltage characteristics and 24H aging.
3. Low power consumption, low heat generation and outstanding startup characteristics
Through performing temperature compensation that utilizes the company's unique simulation technology to match the temperature characteristics of the quartz crystal oscillator, the KT5032F has achieved low power consumption, low heat generation and fast startup without the use of a thermostatic oven.
