Compact tuning fork crystal offers stable and predictable performance

January 9, 2025

The ECX-12R crystal from ECS Inc., which produces a frequency output of 32.768 kHz, is rated for operation over a broad industrial temperature range. Low drive power makes it suitable for use in wearable devices.

The ECS Inc. ECX-12R 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal is an ideal timing device for automotive, industrial, IoT and wearable applications thanks to its stable frequency output over an operating-temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Frequency tolerance options are ±20 ppm or ±10 ppm.  

 

Supplied in a 2.0 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.6 mm package, the ECX-12R features a load capacitance of up to 12.5 pF. The temperature coefficient is -0.033 ppm/°C² over the operating temperature range, and first year aging at 25°C is specified at ±3 ppm. This means that designers can rely on the crystal’s accuracy throughout the standard operating lifetime of the design. 

Features

  • 70 kΩ ESR  
  • 1 µW drive power  
  • 1.3 pF shunt capacitance  

Applications

  • Metering 
  • Automotive systems 
  • Industrial equipment  
  • IoT devices  
  • Wearable devices
