| Clock Oscillators (SPXO) |
 |
| A crystal oscillator, which consists of a crystal units and an inverting amplifier, outputs a stable frequency when subjected to a specific voltage. Crystal oscillators are employeed as a simple means of providing clock generators used for information processing in office automation and other electronic equipment. |
| Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXO) |
|
| A temperature compensated crystal oscillators, or TCXO, compensates frequency-temperature characteristics of crystal units using a temperature compensation circuit, to give a highly stable output frequency. They are mainly used as reference signal sources in radio frequency circuits of cellular phones. |
| Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillators (VCXO) |
|
| Oscillators in which output frequency can be varied using an external control voltage. |
| Digital Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (DTCXO) |
|
| Oscillators in which the voltage applied to a VCXO is controlled using a voltage control circuit and temperature is digitally compensated to give high stability of oscillation frequency. |
| Oven Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (OCXO) |
|
| Oscillators in which the temperature of components with a major impact on temperature is controlled by a constant temperature oven to give high stability of oscillation frequency. |
