Two Powerful Products Are Making an Outsize Impact On the Auto Industry

Current and future applications for the automotive industry require electronics with premium capabilities. The immense technological growth of this market requires designers to seek out superior components for their board projects.

Two areas in particular require high-performing products: timing and power management. Precise, stable frequencies are required for effective operation of the many electronic processors and controllers. Clean, quality DC to DC power conversion provides a clean, stable voltage current that allows frequency to play its role.

Designers cannot afford to opt for low quality clocking and power products. Their projects’ success in the continuously growing automotive industry depends on quality. This is why designers look to ECS Inc. for MultiVolt™ crystal oscillators and automotive-grade shielded power inductors.

What Makes MultiVolt™ Crystal Oscillators Critical for Your Next Design?

MultiVolt™ oscillators are robust and highly versatile components. These products’ small form factor makes them an ideal choice, as capable of dealing with temperature fluctuations that can sometimes occur when boards are integrated into products with fluctuating temperatures. MultiVolt™ oscillators are also AEC-Q200 qualified and ready for integration into any automotive project.

However, the most prominent feature of MultiVolt™ lies in how they handle voltage:

  • ECS Inc.’s MultiVolt™ products operate across a supply voltage range of 1.6 to 3.6 volts.
  • Their static supply voltage is compatible with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V and 3.3V.
  • The reduced current consumption of these oscillators allows them to operate effectively on a battery supply, as their performance will not deteriorate, even as a battery drains.

The MultiVolt™ series is critical for the automotive and transportation industry’s growing reliance on li-ion batteries. The ability to operate on static, variable voltages ensures their place among essential solutions as applications for this market continue to expand.

ECS Inc. Power Inductors Complement Your MultiVolt™ Crystal Oscillators

A power inductor ensures that the conversion of DC to DC power is clean, stable and uninterrupted by voltage fluctuation and interference.

Engineers rely on power inductors:

  1. To protect sensitive electronics from voltage irregularities.
  2. To ensure an effective power supply without noise disruption or spikes.
  3. To eradicate performance degradation caused by voltage fluctuations and surges.

Power inductors also serve as key partners for MultiVolt™ crystal oscillators. MultiVolt™ products deliver voltage versatility, and a power inductor protects the quality of the voltage MultiVolt™ oscillators use. Selecting both gives designers voltage protection and voltage versatility.
