In low-power electronic devices, where energy efficiency and high performance are critical, the 1.2 V Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) has become the oscillator of choice.

A quartz crystal oscillator is the 'heartbeat' for an entire microprocessor unit (MCU). It provides the clock frequency signal that is necessary for the MCU to execute instructions.

Differential transmission is a signal transmission technology that is different from the traditional single-ended signal transmission that uses a signal line and a ground line. Differential transmission carries signals on both wires. The two signals have the same amplitude, but opposite phases. transmitted on these two lines are differential signals.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is pervasive. It is a phenomenon that occurs when the operation of an electronic device is disturbed by an electromagnetic field or conducted power source, resulting in the disruption of the radio frequency spectrum. EMI can damage precision circuits, increase noise and degrade oscillator stability. The effects of EMI can range from merely diminishing circuit performance to causing complete system failure.

In the realm of modern communication and signal processing, two pivotal concepts continually emerge: phase noise and phase jitter. These two interconnected characteristics are indicators of signal stability and quality, especially in high-frequency and high-performance applications. Let's delve into a deeper understanding of what phase noise and phase jitter entail and why they matter in the world of technology and communications.

Two important standards in the automotive industry are IATF 16949 and AEC-Q200. IATF 16949 is a global automotive industry quality management standard, while AEC-Q200 is a stress testing certification for passive components, but both are critical to ensuring the quality and reliability of products used in the industry.

A Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) is a crystal oscillator specifically designed to provide a stable oscillation frequency in high temperatures. Their built-in temperature compensation circuitry enables them to automatically adjust frequency and maintain stability. TCXOs are used when temperature stability requirements are beyond reach of standard crystal clock oscillators or voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs).

The UWB communication protocol facilitates advanced location-oriented communication capabilities such as secure hands-free access, indoor navigation, contactless payments, credential sharing and item tracking.
