Simple Packaged Crystal Oscillators (SPXO)
SPXO is an oscillator for watches, which uses crystal resonance to create an electrical signal with a more precise frequency and are suitable for clock signal generators.
Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillators (VCXO)
These crystal oscillators have a variable-capacitance diode inserted into a SPXO oscillation loop, and enables the oscillation frequency to change by varying the voltage of the external power supply. The temperature characteristic of these oscillation are equivalent to those of the SPXO loop and takes advantage of the good attributes of crystal resonators.
Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators(TCXO)
These high-precision crystal oscillators have a built-in circuit that corrects frequency variations resulting from temperature variations of the crystal resonator. It is optimal for applications where small frequency tolerance is required across a wide temperature.
Oven Controlled crystal Oscillator(OCXO)
OCXO is a super high-precision crystal oscillator with very small frequency variations by a built-in thermostatic bath, to maintain a constant temperature of the crystal resonator. Available to the frequency reference, such as instruments and infrastructure base stations.
RTC is a high-precision crystal application product with built-in tuning-fork crystal oscillator,has an interrupt function and data provide function necessary for calendar clock function,such as year, month, day, hour, minute and second.
