ECS Inc. ECS‑3225MV MultiVolt™ Series of Oscillators

Flexible, low jitter timing solutions for modern electronic designs

Accurate and stable clock timing is essential across a wide range of electronic systems, from wireless connectivity and portable devices to industrial controllers and low‑power IoT nodes. The ECS Inc. ECS‑3225MV MultiVolt™ Series delivers quartz‑based, fixed‑frequency oscillators with industry‑leading jitter and phase noise performance at a competitive price point.

Designed to operate across a flexible supply voltage range from 1.6V to 3.6V and in standard supply configurations such as 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, and 3.3V, these oscillators simplify system design by supporting multiple platforms with a single timing component. By leveraging classic quartz resonator technology, the MultiVolt™ Series outperforms many MEMS‑ and SAW‑based alternatives for jitter and phase noise, making it a strong choice in applications where signal integrity and timing precision are critical.

The ECS‑3225MV is packaged in a compact 3.20mm × 2.50mm × 1.2mm surface mount HCMOS form factor, helping designers save board space without sacrificing performance. With guaranteed low jitter levels around 1 picosecond and stable operation over the standard industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, this oscillator is optimized for designs that demand both reliability and versatility.

Features

  • Small HCMOS surface mount package (3.20mm × 2.50mm × 1.2mm) ideal for space‑constrained layouts
  • Frequency range from 2 MHz to 160 MHz for diverse timing needs
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for industrial‑grade performance
  • Tight frequency stability options of ±25ppm and ±50ppm

 

  • MultiVolt™ operation from 1.6V to 3.6V supports multiple supply domains
  • Best‑in‑class low jitter and low phase noise compared to MEMS or SAW alternatives
  • RoHS 3 and REACH compliant for environmental and regulatory requirements

Applications

  • LoRaWAN and Low‑Power Wireless Modules: Stable clocks improve RF performance and synchronization in long‑range, low‑power radios for smart city, agriculture, and asset tracking applications.
  • Portable and Battery‑Powered Devices: Flexible supply voltage operation makes ECS‑3225MV ideal for products with variable battery levels or multi‑rail designs such as wearables, handheld instruments, and mobile sensors.
  • Industrial Automation and Control: Industrial controllers, PLCs, and data acquisition modules benefit from precise timing over wide temperature ranges to ensure deterministic behavior and reliable communications.

 

  • IoT and Embedded Connectivity: High‑performance timing supports communication stacks, microcontroller peripherals, and sensor interfaces in connected IoT devices.
  • Consumer Electronics and Test Instruments: Oscillators with low jitter improve audio, video, and data throughput in portable electronics, test equipment, and precision measurement tools.
