Aker Technology Launches Automotive-Grade TXOF-211A TCXO and SMAF-161 XO

Automotive-grade crystal oscillators provide reliability for next-generation designs

• Ultra-compact footprint: 2.0 x 1.6 mm (TXOF-211A), 1.6 x 1.2 mm (SMAF-161)
• Reliable performance over a wide temperature range
• Superior stability, low-power consumption
• Multiple voltage options: 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 1.68 V ~ 3.63 V

Aker Technology, a global manufacturer of innovative, competitively priced frequency control products, announces the introduction of the automotive-grade versions of the TXOF-211A TCXO (2016) Clipped Sine Wave Series and the SMAF-161 XO (1612) certified to the AEC-Q200 standard.

Reliable timing devices are becoming increasingly necessary when technologies like advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, and other connected solutions are integrated into today’s vehicles. These automotive-grade crystals provide stable performance, low phase noise, and precise frequency accuracy that are essential for these electronic systems to operate at their best.

Designed based on automotive specifications to ensure products meet the strict AEC-Q200 standards and requirements of the automotive industry, both the TXOF-211A and the SMAF-161 come in ultra-miniature packaging: TXOF-211A (2.0 x 1.6 mm), SMAF-161 (1.6 x 1.2 mm) for optimized space-constrained, high-density PCB designs.

In order to withstand harsh automotive conditions, the TXOF-211A has an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, and the SMAF-161 a range of -40°C to +125°C. Both the TXOF-211A and the SMAF-161 offer multiple voltage options common in automotive applications, including 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 1.68~3.63V.

As a trusted oscillator manufacturer and frequency solution provider, Aker Technology delivers precision, reliability, and compact design with the automotive-grade TXOF-211A and SMAF-161 Series, helping OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers enable safer, smarter, and more connected vehicles.
