Silicon Laboratories is offering a new class of oscillator as a frequency reference. The all-silicon Si500 series uses neither a MEMS (microelectromechanical-system) frequency system nor a crystal, ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

Crystal oscillators are incredibly useful components, but they come with one little snag: their oscillation is temperature-dependent. For many applications the relatively small deviation is not a ...

Kyocera Corporation today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary in charge of developing and manufacturing crystal devices, Kyocera Crystal Device Corporation, has succeeded in developing an ...

The evolution of precision clocks. The tradeoffs between MEMS vs. crystal oscillators. The manufacture and cost issues involved. Almost every electronic device you can imagine depends on a precision ...

The “spacescape” exposes crystal oscillators used in space applications to the hazards of radiation. This article focuses on ...
