New range of MEMS based oscillators designed for automotive applications launched by IQD

Posted: 11th July 2017

New range of MEMS based oscillators designed for automotive applications launched by IQDIQD’s latest range of MEMS oscillators are designed for applications that require AEC-Q100 qualified automotive grade products. There are four models in the range to cover variations in package style, supply voltage and frequency range; all are factory programmable which ensures very short lead-times for both design-in volumes and full production.

The IQMS-116AUTO and IQMS-117AUTO models are both housed in SOT23-5 plastic packages which have the solder joints visible so they can be fully inspected. The IQMS-116AUTO has a frequency range of between 1.0MHz to 110.0MHz and the IQMS-117AUTO a range of between 115.2MHz to 137.0MHz.

For customers that prefer plastic SMT packages, the IQMS-114AUTO and IQMS-115AUTO models are available in five different industry standard sizes, 2.0 x 1.6, 2.5 x 2.0, 3.2 x 2.5, 5.0 x 3.2 and 7.0 x 5.0mm. The IQMS-114AUTO has a frequency range of between 1.0MHz to 110.0MHz whilst the IQMS-115AUTO is available between 115.2MHz and 137.0MHz

This new range is particularly suitable for applications such as infotainment systems, collision detection devices, in-vehicle networking and power-train control within the automotive industry or where applications require an oscillator to operate at extreme temperatures.

All models operate over the standard automotive operating temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees C but can also be specified for operation over the standard industrial temperature range of -40 to 105 degrees C or for applications with extreme temperatures, -55 to +125 degrees C. For industrial applications the IQMS-116AUTO is also available with an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C. Frequency stability options can be specified down to ±20ppm for the IQMS-114AUTO, IQMS-115AUTO and IQMS-116AUTO and ±25ppm for the IQMS-117AUTO over all of the operating temperature options.

Five different voltage options are available, 1.8, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0 and 3.3V with the current consumption down to 4.5mA with no load.  All models deliver a CMOS output, 15pF load with a rise and fall time of typically 2.5ns to 3ns along with a duty cycle of 45/55% and the option of an enable/disable function on Pad 3.

The new range of automotive grade MEMS oscillators compliments IQD‘s existing range of automotive grade quartz crystals & oscillators. For further information please visit www.iqdfrequencyproducts.com or contact one of our worldwide sales offices.
