Rutronik is expanding the Epson portfolio with the FC1610BN, a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. Compared to its predecessor, the FC1610AN, the energy-saving component has a lower ESR (equivalent serial resistance) with a package size of only 1.6 mm x 1.0 mm. The component operates reliably in an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +105 °C, is suitable for a wide range of applications, e. g. in IoT devices, MCUs for sub-clocks or wearables.
The components are housed in ceramic SMD packages and metal lid instead of glass lid and impress above all with their low ESR:
- 45 kΩ typ. (at +25 °C)
- 60 kΩ max. (at -40 °C to +85 °C)
- 70 kΩ max. (at -40 °C to +105 °C)
They reliably tolerate operating temperatures from -40 °C to +105 °C and are currently the most power-efficient solution – ideal for ubiquitous applications, including radio modules and MCUs for sub-clocks or FA equipment.
Benefits at a glance:
- Operating temperature range from -40 °C to +105 °C
- Small footprint of 1.6 mm x 1.0 mm
- Frequency range up to 32.768 kHz
- Very low ESR
- Ceramic SMD package with metal lid
Some application examples:
- IoT devices
- Sleep clocks that require small size and low power consumption
- MCU and radio modules for sub-clocks
- Clocks for wearable devices
- Battery-powered applications
