Programmable Oscillators

Advantages of Using Programmable Silicon Oscillators

There are multiple advantages to using programmable oscillators, but one key benefit is the time you’ll save during production. By using a programmable oscillator, you avoid having to wait for custom quartz, SAW, MEMS, resonators or other passive electronic components to be engineered. With the ability to pre-configure temperature output, ECS Inc.’s programmable oscillators can be configured to your specifications in a matter of minutes.

Other advantages to using programmable oscillators include the reduced power consumption they offer, which is one of the industry’s lowest, and the fast start-up times. Pair this with their relatively small size – saving you valuable board space – and programmable oscillators prove to be an incredibly efficient, low-cost, low-power timing solution for a broad variety of design applications.

And let’s not forget about shock resistance. Industry-standard crystal oscillators are typically seen as the gold standard for PCB design, but they’re not without flaw. One significant drawback of using crystal components is that the quartz crystal is shock sensitive. This isn’t the case with silicon programmable oscillators. Because these passive components are fully electric devices, they are largely insensitive to mechanical shock and vibration.
