In summary, the many benefits of using a crystal oscillator over a discrete oscillation design enable designers to greatly reduce the design risk, as well as save time and money. Epson offers both kHz and MHz oscillators in various package sizes and types, frequency ranges, output types, tolerances and supply voltages. Programmable oscillators are also readily available for proto-builds and production if the fixed-frequency equivalent is experiencing extended lead time. With the QMEMS photolithographic process, Epson is able to provide sub-miniature package sizes and high frequency fundamental SPXOs and VCXOs while maintaining oscillation performance.
