Murata Americas today introduced several miniaturized, highly advanced crystal units developed specifically for the IoT market. The company used its proprietary technology and volume production capability to design a product line that excels in quality and reliability, while also providing a cost effective solution. The series features a compact package that allows for higher-density mounting and use in lower profile devices. Target applications include IoT, mobile devices, wireless communication protocols, and medical and healthcare products.
The ubiquity of wireless communication-enabled devices has driven the growth of products equipped with advanced functionality. This has been accompanied by the demand to downsize mobile devices and wireless communication modules. Further, there is a need for products to be RoHS-compliant and able to accommodate lead-free solder mounting. These crystal units meet all of the requirements.
The line-up includes the XRCED series, the world’s smallest packaged crystal unit measuring just 1.2 x 1.0 x 0.33 mm. The XRCGB-F-H achieves +/-10ppm initial frequency tolerance to enable Bluetooth® technology and meets the requirements for RF applications in a compact size, a feature that existing product lines could not deliver. Finally, the XRCMD and XRCFD offer a range of operating frequencies, temperatures, and tolerance ranges that design engineers require today to produce tomorrow’s products.
