  • What is the difference between XO and TCXO and OCXO

    Blog

    XO, TCXO, and OCXO are different types of oscillators used in electronics. XO is the basic type, using a crystal to generate frequency but affected by temperature changes. TCXO improves on XO by compensating for temperature variations, making it more accurate in variable environments. OCXO is the mo... read more

  • What is the difference between ppm and ppb

    Blog

    PPM and PPB are like ways to talk about really tiny amounts of things, kind of like counting little grains of sand. PPM means "parts per million," and PPB means "parts per billion." Imagine you have a big bowl of colorful candies. If you take just 1 candy out of every million candies in the bowl, th... read more
