It all depends on how accurate the frequency has to be. If you only need 2%, I would use a C8051F300 microcontroller's built-in oscillator (24.5MHz +/-2%) and divide it down using the processor itself. The chip comes in a 11 pin QFN that is 3x3 mm, a little bigger than you need, but it does not

I have actually used these chips at 125C and the factory even gave me extensive data supporting even higher temperature operation (for missile applications,m can't tell you more). Don't know about 150C though. That is pretty high. On Sat, Nov 2, 2013 at 8:36 AM, Didier Juges shali...@gmail.com

The C8051F300 also has a built-in temperature sensor and ADC, so you could probably implement temperature compensation without any additional component if needed. On Sat, Nov 2, 2013 at 8:37 AM, Didier Juges shali...@gmail.com wrote: I have actually used these chips at 125C and the factory

Hi all, I've got a project upcoming that will require a frequency of 32.768 Khz in a harsh environment (Imagine a thousand G's at 100Hz with 150 Deg C temperatures). Also, this thing needs to be small, 2mmx1.5x1.5mm or so. It also has to be low power. Frequency stability is probably less of a

Hi Dan, I beg your pardon for being so curious, but where do you have to put electronics in a thousand G's at 100Hz? Thank you Volker Am 01.11.2013 17:30, schrieb Dan Kemppainen: Hi all, I've got a project upcoming that will require a frequency of 32.768 Khz in a harsh environment

Hi There are several possibilities, each of them pretty well tells you what industry is looking for the crystal. Bob On Nov 1, 2013, at 7:25 PM, paul swed paulsw...@gmail.com wrote: Kind of scratching my head on that also some blade? Regards Paul On Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 5:50 PM, Volker
