How to choose the fixed frequency oscillator or a programmable MEMS oscillator?
Many customers feedback that MEMS oscillator is much more expensive than quartz oscillator, the price is too high.
So today let's analyse the difference between MEMS oscillator and quartz oscillator,
to understand why MEMS oscillator is so expensive, in the end it is worth it!
MEMS OSC Advantage-Quality,Electrical characteristics | ||
ITEMS | MEMS OSC | QUARTZ OSC |
Customer counter-repair rate (dppm) | <1.6ppm | 100-300dppm |
Qulity problems | 0 Defective rate 270KK Shipped Quantity |
It is not easy to control the quality for large QTY 1.Defective is caused by pollution during sealing process 2.Defective is caused by not so well airtightness 3. Defective in Temperature characteristic deviation caused during cutting crytal |
1 year aging rate | <2ppm | 3-5ppm |
10 year aging rate | <3ppm | 10-15ppm |
Anti-EMS interference | 50 times better than quartz osc | Different from based on different IC SAW OSC-Poor high and low temperature characteristics 3rd Overtone OSC-signal quality easily be interrupted by external noise |
Anti-supply noise | 10 times better than quartz osc | |
Anti-vibration | 30 times better than quartz osc | not so mall in anti-vibration and anti-drop |
Size and signal, quality | Same chip, No impact on signal quality | The smaller the size, the more difficult to manufacture and the higher cost High frequency+small size, quality is not easy to control |
