How Innovative Offerings From ECS Inc. Keep Up With Industry Changes
When a company invests decades in creating frequency-control components, they watch as new markets come to life and others fade. With each change, demand emerges for new solutions. A company that has surveyed these transformations and understands innovation remains relevant and serves clients at a high level.
This is the experience ECS Inc. brings to the manufacturing of crystal oscillators and other timing solutions. In business for over 40 years, ECS Inc. always has its finger on the pulse of the latest industry needs.
Package size is a trend for engineers designing with quartz oscillators. A small form factor is highly beneficial for a number of industries that depend on ESC Inc. crystal tuning forks, real time clocks and more.
To support this trend, ECS Inc. has expanded its portfolio to include what customers require now. It is important to stress, however, that these changes do not raise costs or require a more significant investment. In fact, the current trend that benefits clients who need clocks now is cost-effective while delivering the performance specifications you’ve come to expect from ECS Inc. products.
Smaller Packages Are Now the Norm For Your Timing Solutions
Small form factors are in demand across a number of industries, including automotive, medtech, networking and communication, Internet of Things, transportation and more.
The miniaturization of electronics products is everywhere you look. Smaller electronics provide physicians with a chance to care for patients without the barrier of large devices, empower health-conscious people to monitor their fitness on a run, or allow for less obtrusive applications in the home or office, along with many other use cases.
Smaller package sizes for crystal oscillator timing solutions ensure that frequency solutions continue to make their impact across the wide range of electronic applications available today. They help your designs remain competitive in today’s saturated marketplace.
A Cost-Benefit Analysis Of Smaller Packages For Timing Solutions
Smaller packages mean significant benefits for ECS Inc. customers, no matter their industry. Small-form-factor clocks from ECS Inc. enable lower costs, adaptability for use with other components, quality performance and a larger range of capabilities.
Cost: Although an announcement of the latest technological trends tends to coincide with a discussion of greater costs for users, smaller package size does not mean more expenses for the designer. In fact, the ability to design high-quality components at small package sizes allows ECS Inc. to cut more crystals from a larger wafer, which creates more inventory at a lower cost. This is good news for ECS Inc. customers.
Adaptability: Smaller package sizes are also beneficial for their adaptability. Another electronic component is also trending smaller: application-specific integrated circuits (ASICS). Smaller package sizes for ECS Inc. crystal oscillators for timing make them a perfect fit for the smaller geometries of these necessary circuits.
Improved technology: The technology used to make the smaller wafers provides additional benefits beyond a larger inventory and lower overhead costs. The cutting technology that creates these crystals also yields better equivalent series resistance (ESR), so your designs require less power to get up and running.
Frequency range: Because of improved geometries of crystal blanks. smaller packages for MHz crystal allow for lower frequencies. We can also offer smaller tuning forks, but they will still be the same frequency.
Board optimization: When engineers grow accustomed to a certain package size, they may continue designing with those specifications for a number of years. “Legacy” inventory tends to be far larger than what is needed today. Soon, that inventory will become more costly, when smaller-package-size solutions are available, and the larger-sized inventory becomes scarce.
