EPSON
Quartz crystals, oscillators and RTC devices for precision timing
About the manufacturer
Seiko Epson Corporation is a Japanese technology group founded in 1942. In addition to printers, projectors and robotics, the company develops electronic microdevices including quartz timing components, real-time clock devices and synchronization solutions.
Epson is one of the best-known manufacturers of timing components. Its portfolio includes crystal units, oscillators, RTC modules and precision frequency sources for consumer, industrial, networking and automotive applications. The range covers miniature 32.768 kHz devices for real-time clocks as well as more advanced high-stability oscillators.
Epson timing components provide stable frequency and time references with low power consumption. They are used where accurate synchronization, a dependable system clock or long battery-powered operation is required.
Applications
Epson Timing solutions are used in devices that require a stable clock or precise synchronization:
• Embedded systems – clock references for microcontrollers and RTC circuits.
• Battery-powered devices – low-power 32.768 kHz references.
• Industrial automation – synchronization of controllers and communication modules.
• Telecommunications and networking – stable frequency references for data transmission.
• Consumer electronics – real-time clocks and system references.
• Automotive – timing for control units and communication modules.
• IoT – accurate timekeeping with limited power consumption.
