High-quality crystal units for automotive and other demanding applications

Designed to deliver consistent superior quality with mass production capabilities, Farnell element14 now stocks the Murata XRCGB-F-A series crystal units for automotive applications. Available in cut tape with next day delivery the XRCGB-F-A series crystal units are ideally suited to the automotive industry due to their compact size 2016-size (2mm x 1.6mm), and highly precise nature while supporting high frequencies. These features support the increasingly technological complexity of vehicles and demand for electronic control units that provide sophisticated control capabilities. Combining small size with high precision, the crystal units feature a frequency tolerance of plus or minus 30ppm and a frequency temperature stability of plus or minus 35ppm within the typical operating temperature range of vehicles (-40C to +125C). This makes them suitable for next-generation automotive LANs such as Ethernet or image processing ECUs. The crystals are also ideal for use in ADAS ECUs (camera, millimetre wave, laser, etc.), and gateway ECUs. The XRCGB-F-A series comply with the AEC-Q200 reliability testing standards for automotive electronic components as well as with the RoHS/ELV directive. Due to its compact, high power and high efficiency, the cost-effective XRCGB-F-A series is also suited to medical, information technology and industrial applications, says the company.
