TTI, a global specialist distributor of passive, connector, electromechanical and discrete components, now stocks Murata’s new line-up additions to its XRC family of crystal timing devices in Europe. Specifically designed for automotive applications, the new products are approximately 40% smaller than the industry norm and measure just 2.5mm x 2.0mm. Despite the small package, the ESR is 30 – 50% lower than that of similar devices currently available on the market.
XRC series components are available with nominal frequencies in the range of 12 – 24 MHz and provide a highly accurate high quality clock that is required for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). Typically used for in-vehicle networks such as CAN and FlexRay, XRC series devices incorporate a crystal element within a ceramic resonator package structure. The frequency tolerance is typically +/- 100pm at 25°C and the operating temperature range is –40°C up to +125°C. The new timing devices have been developed in conjunction with Murata’s new wholly owned subsidiary TEW.
