Which crystals are suitable for LoRaWAN, ISM, BLE, ZigBee and wireless applications?

Precise, low-impedance and long-term available SMD oscillating crystals from PETERMANN-TECHNIK are suitable for LoRaWAN, ISM band, BLE, ZigBee and wireless applications, because stable clock sources are the basis for reliable radio communication and extend the service life of the battery. In wireless designs, the quality of the crystal determines the transient behaviour, frequency stability, communication reliability and energy efficiency.

<p>Radio applications place high demands on the clock source. Transceivers, microcontrollers and radio modules require an exactly matching reference frequency, a suitable load capacitance, stable tolerances and reliable transient behaviour. Power consumption is also a key factor, especially for battery-operated sensors, smart city devices, IoT modules and industrial wireless systems. An unsuitable crystal can lead to communication interruptions, unstable timing, higher energy consumption or start-up problems. Therefore, the selection should not be based solely on frequency and design, but should be considered across the entire application.</p

 

<p>The exclusive LRT resonant crystals from PETERMANN-TECHNIK provide a great deal of additional safety thanks to their very low resistance. The resistance-optimised resonator design reduces the load on the oscillator circuit. This stabilises the starting process and significantly reduces the start-up time, resulting in a lower power requirement for the circuit, which significantly reduces the current consumption of the circuit and therefore increases battery life.

 

The following LRT oscillating crystals are recommended by PETERMANN-TECHNIK specialists for radio applications:

 

MHz oscillating crystal of the SMD03025/4 series (3.2x2.5mm/4pad)

 

MHz oscillating crystal of the SMD02016/4 series (2.0x1.6mm/4pad)

 

MHz crystal oscillator of the SMD01612/4 series (1.6x1.2mm/4pad)

 

kHz crystal oscillator of the M3215RR series 50 kOhm version (3.2x1.5mm/2pad)

 

kHz crystal oscillator of the M2012 series (2.0x1.2mm)

 

kHz oscillating quartz crystal of the M1610 series (1.6x1.0mm)
