Crystal oscillator driver saves space and BOM costs
Designed to provide high-reliability in extreme temperature and extended lifetime systems, the XTR60010 low-power crystal oscillator driver has been unveiled by X-REL Semiconductor. Operating with supply voltages of 2.5-5.5V and crystals from 32kHz to 50MHz, the device is suitable for crystal oscillators, clock generation, clock buffering, frequency division and precision timing applications.
Rated for an operating temperature range from -60 to +230°C, the XTR60010 features automatic gain control of crystal driver, on-chip crystal load capacitors, customer selectable prescaler and programmable frequency divider. These features enable a reduction in area and BOM, with the ability to adapt to the used crystal without the need for customer intervention. Accelerating product qualification cycles and time-to-market, this provides a drastic reduction in system complexity, cost and development time.
Rated for a five year lifetime at +230°C (or over 35 years at +150°C), the XTR60010 crystal oscillator driver is available now in high-reliability compact hermetic or plastic packages, as well as bare dies.
