Euroquartz optimised clock oscillators for military use
Surface mount technology clock oscillators by Euroquartz are optimised for the defence and aerospace markets. The EQXO75000BM series oscillators will be launched at the Embedded Design Show (EDS 2019) next month.
The new components will be manufactured in the UK, in Euroquartz’s recently installed class 7 cleanroom facility. Preliminary specifications have been announced encompassing frequencies available from 2.0 to 60MHz, the company reports.
The EQXO75000BM series oscillators will comprise a TTL/CMOS-compatible circuit with a miniature quartz crystal in a low-profile ceramic surface mount package. The oscillators’ package measures 7.0 x 5.0 x 2.5mm.
The company says that it uses advances in production technology, optimised design and high-quality materials for a high-reliability clock oscillator suitable for the defence and aerospace markets. The principal advantages of these UK-manufactured components are that they will be free from International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), with reduced shipping costs, says Euroquartz.
Euroquartz’s EQXO75000BM series will complement the company’s existing range of dual in-line (DIL) products and will be suitable for use in new designs. The parts can be supplied with or without full military screening all controlled within the AS9100 Quality Management System.
