Mainstream crystal oscillators are usually divided into two packaging forms: SMD and direct-insert. SMD crystal oscillators are smaller than direct-insert crystal oscillators and are more widely used in intelligent electronic products. At present, SMD crystal oscillators with a size of 3225 (3.2*2.5mm) and below are usually used.
· Miniaturized crystal
As an important clock signal source in electronic equipment, crystal oscillators are directly related to the working efficiency and stability of the equipment. With the development of science and technology, especially the rise of mobile devices, wearable technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent products are becoming more and more portable, so the demand for miniaturization of crystal oscillators is gradually increasing.
· Market trend
At present, the size and performance of crystal oscillators have become important factors in determining the performance of electronic products. 3225 size (3.2mm x 2.5mm) crystal oscillators have been widely used in consumer devices due to their good comprehensive performance. As consumer electronic products develop towards more portable, more energy-saving/longer-lasting directions, the trend of miniaturization in the crystal oscillator industry is becoming more and more obvious. In addition to the 3225 size, more compact crystal oscillators are gradually emerging in the market. For example:
①2016 (2.0x1.6mm): This size of crystal oscillator is smaller than 3225 and is suitable for portable devices and wearable devices with very strict space requirements.
②1610 (1.6x1.0mm): Further reducing the size, this crystal oscillator is suitable for extremely small space requirements, such as smart watches, health monitors, etc.
③1210 (1.2x1.0mm) and 1008 (1.0x0.8mm): These are among the smallest commercially available crystal oscillators, designed for extremely compact applications such as micro sensors, RFID tags, etc.
These smaller crystal oscillators not only meet the needs of device miniaturization, but also have good performance and stability, becoming the first choice for emerging markets such as wearable devices, IoT terminals, and smart homes.
· Market trends and future prospects
With the development of technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT), the market demand for miniaturization, low power consumption and high precision of crystal oscillators is growing. It is expected that crystal oscillator products will develop in the following directions in the future:
Further reduction in size: Miniaturization is an important direction for the development of crystal oscillator technology in the future. With the continuous advancement of manufacturing processes and technologies, the size of crystal oscillators is expected to be further reduced to meet the needs of more application scenarios. Miniaturized products such as 1210 and 1008 may gradually become the mainstream of the market to meet the needs of more compact equipment design.
Continuous improvement in performance: Although the size continues to shrink, high precision and high stability are still the core requirements of crystal oscillator products. In the future, crystal oscillators must not only meet higher standards in frequency stability, temperature stability and shock resistance, but also meet the high performance requirements of high-end markets such as 5G communications and automotive electronics.
Expansion of intelligent applications: The application of crystal oscillators in smart devices will be more extensive, especially in the fields of the Internet of Things, smart homes, wearable devices, etc. As these applications place higher demands on the performance and size of crystal oscillators, crystal oscillator manufacturers need to accelerate the pace of technological innovation to adapt to market changes.
