SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - May 6, 2013) - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (
"Our new TCXO family allows mobile platform designers to have excellent frequency and voltage stability performance over a very wide temperature range while still meeting their cost targets," said Steve Wang, Pericom marketing director for timing products. "Being fully vertically integrated allows us to optimize and match our quartz based product design and manufacturing process to customer needs, especially features that enable smooth integration into mobile platform designs."
Pericom TCXO products offer excellent frequency stability from ±0.5-5.0 ppm over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Typical support frequency ranges from a few MHz to a maximum 40 MHz to cover almost all application needs. Supply voltage options cover 1.8V to 3.3V. The new product family includes many frequency options available in both TCXO and VCTCXO (Voltage Controlled Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) options in which the VCTCXO option is voltage-controlled from an external processor.
Aimed at space critical mobile platforms, Pericom's new TCXO/VCTCXO family supports both standard 3225 (3.2mm x 2.5mm) and 2520 (2.5mm x 2.0mm) small package sizes.
Annual TCXO unit shipments will reach 1100 million (1.1B) in 2013, driven by siginificant growth of mainly smart phone based GPS applications. 3225 and 2520 package sizes account for 80% of total TCXO volume, with the 2520 becoming the mainstream package size through 2016.
