Automotive and Industrial Grade Clock Oscillators

Lisle, IL – CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS) announces two new clock oscillator families designed for automotive, industrial and commercial military/aerospace applications requiring wide operating temperature ranges.  CA Series devices are manufactured on TS16949 certified production lines, AEC-Q200 qualified, PPAP compliant and operate over standard automotive temperature range -40°C to +125°C.  CHT Series products share the same design matrix with CA Series and geared towards industrial and commercial military/aerospace applications with operating temperature range requirements of -55°C to +125°C.

The new product families are available in an array of compact hermetically sealed ceramic SMD package sizes.  Each model within a series delivers a CMOS output, 15pf load drive capability, typical rise and fall time of 5ns and standard Pin 1 output enable/disable function.  Frequency stabilities span as low as ±25ppm over -40°C/+85°C range, to ±100ppm over -55°C/+105°C for CA Series and ±100ppm over -55°C/+125°C for CHT Series.

The new range of automotive grade clock oscillators joins CTS’ existing lineup of automotive grade quartz crystal products.  New family platforms are also suitable to support a wide array of market segments; covering telecommunication infrastructure, networking, server applications, test and measurement, medical diagnostic equipment and much more; by delivering excellent phase jitter performance and extended temperature ranges for fan-less applications.
