Saelig Introduces Euroquartz Miniature SMD Temperature-compensated Crystal Oscillators For Real-time Clock Applications

Fairport, NY, USA:   Saelig Company, Inc. has launched the Euroquartz EME32T Series temperature-compensated crystal oscillators, supplied in a miniature 4-pad ceramic SMD package. This new range of miniature surface-mount TCXOs offers very low current consumption, ideal for use in 32.768kHz real-time clock applications. These SMD-packaged clocks come in a selection of optional supply voltages – 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, 3.3V and 5.0. Their very low current consumption – as little as 0.79uA at 1.8V – is a major advantage in battery-controlled applications, while frequency stability is just ±5ppm over temperature range from -40 to +85degC.
