    Why Reliability Wins Startups Choosing OCXO Over Cheaper Options

    Blog

    In the fast-paced world of startups, every design decision can make or break a product. While cheaper oscillators may look attractive at first, they often fall short in stability, performance, and long-term reliability. That’s why more startups are turning to OCXOs (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillato... read more

  • Application Notes: Impact of Crystal Surface Changes on Aging in SC-Cut Crystals

    Application Notes

    Crystal surface changes are a key factor contributing to aging in SC-cut crystals used in Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXOs). These changes primarily arise from chemical, mechanical, or environmental interactions affecting the quartz crystal over time.

  • Application Notes: Great Aging Performance of SC-Cut Crystals in OCXOs

    Application Notes

    SC-cut crystals achieve significantly better aging performance than AT-cut crystals due to their stress-compensated design, reduced sensitivity to mounting stresses, improved thermal characteristics, and higher Q factor. These advantages result in aging rates as low as 0.1 ppm per year, making SC-cu... read more

  • Understanding OCXOs: Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators

    Blog

    An Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) is a type of crystal oscillator that provides exceptional frequency stability by housing the crystal in an oven maintained at a constant, higher temperature. This design minimizes the effects of ambient temperature fluctuations, ensuring highly stable ope... read more
