1.2 Volt TCXO Validation Testing

At Aker Technology we conduct validation testing for all our products. Our in-house testing capabilities allow us to provide detailed power consumption data for each product configuration; validate performance across various operating conditions; and offer comprehensive technical support with actual measurement data.

We recently performed this testing on our new 1.2V TCXOs, that not only provide precise frequency control, but also reduce energy consumption significantly, to demonstrate their lower power performance while maintaining excellent frequency stability when operating at a low voltage.

1.2V TCXO Overview

Our 1.2V TCXOs are an ultra-low power solution for a variety of modern electronic devices, like smart watches, tablets, GPS trackers, mobile medical systems, weather stations, environmental sensors, industrial automation systems, fitness trackers, heart rate monitors and Bluetooth systems. Features include:

  • Frequency Range: 13MHz to 52MHz
  • Dimensions: 3.2×2.5mm, 2.5×2.0mm
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Supply Voltage: 1.2V
  • Pin#1 Function: Enable/Disable capability
  • Optimized for ultra-low power applications

Test Results

The following test results demonstrate the superior power efficiency of the 1.2V TCXO. Compared to 1.68V and 3.3V operation, the 1.2V offers significant power savings for both packages.
