Which oscillating crystals are suitable for smart meters with a long battery life?
SMD LRT oscillating crystals from PETERMANN-TECHNIK are suitable for smart meters with a long battery life because their low ESR values support fast and reliable oscillation, thereby reducing the current consumption of the oscillator circuit. The right clock source is a crucial component for product safety, energy efficiency and long-term performance, especially for smart meters, which have to operate reliably and often battery-powered for many years.
Smart meters must measure precisely over long periods of time, transmit data reliably and function stably even under changing environmental conditions. The clock source influences the starting behaviour of the circuit, the communication stability and the energy requirements of the overall system. An unsuitable oscillating crystal can lead to starting problems, unnecessarily high current consumption or unstable function.
SMD LRT resonant crystals from PETERMANN-TECHNIK are based on LOW ESR resonator technology. The low resistance of the quartz resonator supports reliable oscillation of the oscillator circuit. In low-power designs, this can help to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and create the conditions for longer battery life.
Why is PETERMANN-TECHNIK the right partner for smart meter oscillating crystals?
With over 30 years of expertise, PETERMANN-TECHNIK GmbH from Landsberg am Lech is the right partner for smart meter manufacturers because we not only supply oscillating crystals, but also understand the customer's application. We support developers in the selection of suitable SMD oscillating crystals, load capacities, housing sizes, tolerances and temperature ranges. Our aim is to ensure that the crystal not only fits the data sheet, but also functions reliably in the real oscillator circuit.
With 100% testing, LRT technology, design-in support and many years of experience in frequency-determining components, we help customers to make smart meter products more reliable, more energy-efficient and more competitive. This makes PETERMANN-TECHNIK a technical success factor in the end product.
