High precision 'mini' crystals enable easy miniaturization of communication devices

FC1610AN is an ultra small passive crystal launched by EPSON, which has high-precision output frequency and can be used for network clock synchronization, timing systems, etc. in communication equipment.

The nominal frequency of FC1610AN is 32.768kHz, with optional load capacitors of 9pF and 12.5pF. This crystal can generate stable frequency signals through external circuits. When the driving power is 0.1 μ W, the room temperature frequency tolerance is only ± 20ppm, and the output does not contain high-order harmonic components. The maximum excitation power of this component is 0.5 μ W, making it easier to achieve low-power design compared to active crystal oscillators. The frequency temperature relationship of FC1610AN follows parabolic characteristics, with a maximum parabolic coefficient of -0.04ppm/℃ ² and a turning point temperature of 25 ℃± 5 ℃. The stable curve characteristic can reduce the impact of temperature changes on the output and further improve the stability of the output. In addition, its maximum frequency aging rate within the first year is ± 3ppm/year, which helps to improve the service life of the equipment.

The appearance size of FC1610AN is 1.65 × 1.05 × 0.5mm, and it adopts an ultra small patch packaging, which is very suitable for equipment with strict design space requirements. FC-1610AN has a wide range of application prospects in the field of small communication devices due to its high stability and miniaturization, meeting the design requirements for miniaturization of communication devices and achieving high-precision real-time clock systems.
