Crystals enable ECUs to operate at higher frequencies
Suitable for next-gen automotive LANs, such as Ethernet or image processing ECUs, ADAS ECUs and gateway ECUs, the XRCGB-F-A series crystal units have been announced by Murata. The crystals are compact, 2016-size (2.0x1.6mm), and highly precise while supporting high frequencies from 24 to 48MHz.
According to Murata, the crystals are the first in the world to use an exclusive new, proprietary package technology that delivers consistent superior quality, mass production capabilities and, importantly for customers, a highly cost-effective product. Combining small size with high precision, the XRCGB-F-A series features a frequency tolerance of ±30ppm and a frequency temperature stability of ±35ppm within an automotive operating temperature range from -40 to +125°C.
The XRCGB-F-A series comply with the AEC-Q200 reliability testing standards for automotive electronic components as well as with the RoHS/ELV directive.
