1.2 V TCXOs: The Future of Frequency Control for Low Power, Precise Electronics

smart carIn low-power electronic devices, where energy efficiency and high performance are critical, the 1.2 V Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) has become the oscillator of choice. This innovative component not only provides precise frequency control, but also significantly reduces energy consumption, bringing unprecedented advantages to various modern applications including mobile, portable and IoT devices as well as industrial and medical systems.

Created to meet the dual demands of modern electronic devices for low-power consumption and high precision, the 1.2 V TCXO is a specially designed low-voltage version of a crystal oscillator that adjusts its frequency to account for changes in temperature.

The 1.2 V TCXO can counteract temperature-related frequency variations, making it ideal for use in devices where precise timekeeping, signal synchronization and stable frequency output is needed over a wide range of temperatures.

What Makes the 1.2 V TCXO Unique

  1. Ultra-low-power consumption: Compared to traditional TCXOs, the 1.2 V version consumes much less power
  2. Precise frequency stability: Maintains excellent frequency stability when operating at low voltage
  3. High reliability: Low voltage use ensures frequency stability while preventing communication interruptions in data transmission
  4. Strong temperature adaptability: Built-in temperature compensation mechanism ensures stable frequency under various environmental conditions
  5. Miniaturized design: Suitable for integration into modern electronic devices with a small footprint
