Its Achille’s heel in terms of accuracy is the plain crystal oscillator it uses as a frequency standard, which has no temperature compensation and thus drifts by about 0.2 ppm per degree.

With regard to retro test gear, one’s thoughts tend to those Nixie-adorned instruments of yore, or the boat-anchor oscilloscopes that came with their own carts simply because there was no other ...

The accuracy of a network’s time synchronisation is heavily reliant on the environmental resilience of the local oscillator .

CT20116 is a crystal oscillator that generates a low jitter 25MHz clock by mean of either an external crystal connected between pins XTALI/REFCLK_IN and XTALO or an external reference 25/50MHz clock ...

MEMS is an acronym that stands for microelectromechanical systems – exceptionally small devices that incorporate mechanical, electrical, and frequently optical components on a single microchip. These ...

Additionally, HCMOS oscillators may not be suitable for applications that require extremely high precision and low phase noise, where crystal oscillators ... also evaluate the oscillator's performance ...

InCirT’s APLL9GGF22 is the ring-oscillator based analogue-PLL which provides ultra-low jitter (690fs rms jitter at 9.5GHz) and low-power consumption (5.3mW at 9.5GHz) operating from 4.5GHz ... CT20116 ...

SiTime Corporation recently announced a new family of µPower MEMS Oscillators for the wearable, IoT and mobile markets. The SiT8021 oscillator is the first device in this family. The company claims ...

Crystal skulls are not uncommon or terribly mysterious. Thousands are produced every year in Brazil, China, and Germany. But there are a handful of these rather macabre objects that have fueled ...

MEMS devices integrate mechanical components, electronics, sensors, and actuators on a semiconductor material, chip, or wafer. They are built with advanced microfabrication and micromachining ...
