News Room

Lisle, IL – CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS) has announced a new TCXO operating at 32.768kHz for applications requiring a precision Real Time Clock reference.  Model TT32 delivers a very tight frequency stability, ±5.0ppm over -40°C to +85°C, for accurate time keeping over variations in temperature; when compared to simple crystal devices that utilize tuning fork resonators with a classic parabolic temperature curve, +25°C turnover point and -0.035ppm/°C² temperature coefficient.

Operating with a maximum current draw of 1.5µA @ +3.3V, TT32’s low power consumption is important for preserving battery life of portable or handheld electronics employing low power FPGAs and microcontrollers [MCUs].  It will also help minimize current consumption during wake-up on demand operations.  Other key features include operating voltage options of +1.8V, +2.5V, +3.0V and +3.3V, Pin 1 enable function, a space saving 3.28mmx2.50mm ceramic package that is RoHS compliant and standard tape and reel packaging.

Many of today’s electronic devices require some form of timekeeping that include current time, calendar events or processing scheduled tasks. Keeping track of time and organizing multiple tasks such as taking measurements, monitoring communications and wake-up on demand surveillance; real time clock references [RTC] provide a cost effective solution that support such critical functions.

Applications Include:

• Real Time Clock Reference
• FPGAs & Microcontrollers
• Wearable Electronics
• IoT Applications
• Consumer Electronics
• Healthcare Devices
• Smart Meters
• Instrumentation
• Low Power FPGAs & MCUs
• Portable Electronics
• Data Loggers
• Battery Powered Apps
• Automotive Electronics
• Car Navigation Systems
• Car Infotainment Systems
• Industrial Control Equipment
• M2M Communication
• Video Surveillance

This new CTS model series adds to an extensive line of 32.768kHz reference products, supporting a wide range of package sizes from simple tuning fork crystal formats to more precise oscillator devices.  Complete product listings and data sheets can be found at the following CTS website locations,
