• Comparing TCXOs and OCXOs: Which Is Better for Jitter Reduction?

    Blog

    Jitter—timing deviations in clock signals—causes bit errors, signal distortion, and performance drops in high-speed systems like Ethernet, PCIe, and radar. Choosing the right oscillator is critical. Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXOs) deliver superior jitter reduction with exceptional freque... read more

  • Main Differences Between TCXOs and OCXOs in Reducing Jitter

    Blog

    Choosing between TCXO and OCXO depends on your jitter requirements. OCXOs use an internal oven to maintain constant temperature, delivering exceptional frequency stability (±0.005 ppm) and ultra-low phase noise (-150 dBc/Hz). This makes them ideal for high-speed Ethernet, PCIe, data centers, and tel... read more

  • Size Comparison: OCXOs vs. TCXOs

    Blog

    Choosing between an OCXO and TCXO often comes down to a trade-off: size versus stability. OCXOs are larger (20–50 mm) because they use an internal oven for precise temperature control, delivering exceptional frequency stability down to ±0.01 ppm—ideal for telecom base stations, aerospace, and lab eq... read more
