As demonstrated by TTI
Europe, and on display at Electronica 2006, Hall B5.325,
Murata ceramic resonators now out-perform crystal oscillators on
stability.
Oscillators have traditionally been larger,
heavier and more power-hungry than resonators. However, in recent
years, the stability of Murata's ceramic resonators has progressively
approached that of crystal oscillators. It has now surpassed it,
with the CSTCE-SK devices providing a replacement for ±500ppm
oscillators, eroding the only remaining advantage they had over
ceramic resonators.
Other advantages for the Murata resonators
include a rise time that is approximately 100 times faster. There
is also a load capacitor built-in, which reduces the PCB area requirement
and the boardassembly workload.
Devices with this high stability are now
in production for 24 MHz and 30 MHz frequencies, supporting applications
such as the latest highspeed USB interfaces. Higher frequencies
will become available soon. They are available on plastic tape in
3000-piece, 180-mm reels, or 9000- piece, 330mm reels, and withstand
the rigours of reflow soldering. Optical positioning is recommended
for mounting these parts.
