Real-Time Clocks with TCXO

The real-time clock (RTC) with integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) from Abracon offers a compact and energy-efficient solution for applications requiring precise timekeeping across varying temperatures and operating conditions. By integrating a TXCO directly into the RTC module, this solution minimizes frequency drift, ensuring exceptional stability of ±3.4 ppm to ±5 ppm. This level of precision is crucial for applications such as industrial automation, automotive systems, telecommunications equipment, and smart utility meters, where consistent timing is essential.

Designed with power consumption as low as 1.0 µA in mind, these RTCs are ideal for battery-operated devices requiring extended operational life. Features like automatic battery switchover ensure uninterrupted timekeeping during power failures, preserving critical data. The integration of the oscillator and RTC functionality into a single, compact module simplifies design, reduces the need for external components, and enhances overall system reliability. With a wide operating voltage range and compact form factor, these RTCs are suitable for a variety of applications, including networking equipment, smart grids, utility meters, and environmental monitoring systems.
