Choosing theright quartz crystal can improve product performance, as frequency stability, ESR, load capacity, transient response, temperature range and long-term availability directly influence the functioning of the end product.An optimally selected quartz crystal is therefore not a standard component, but a crucial performance factor.

In many electronic products, the clock sourcedetermines how reliably a system boots up, how stably it communicates, how precisely it measures and how energy-efficiently it operates. An unsuitable crystal can lead to boot-up problems, timing errors, higher power consumption or field failures.

A good quartz selection takes more than just frequency into account. Other crucial factors include ESR, load capacitance, package size, temperature range, IC specifications, PCB layout, availability and quality standards. The better these factors are aligned, the more robust the end product will be.

PETERMANN-TECHNIK GmbH helps customers find the best technical timing solution for their application. Our SMD LRT crystal oscillators with LOW-ESR technology, our 100% testing, our configurators and our design-in consultancy lay the foundations for reliable, long-lasting and high-performance electronic products.

When two suppliers compete in the same market, the better clock solution can make all the difference. A product incorporating PETERMANN-TECHNIK components can gain a genuine competitive advantage through reliable start-up, stable performance, improved cost-effectiveness, lower power consumption and greater reliability.
