IQD
Quartz crystals, oscillators and precision timing
About the manufacturer
IQD Frequency Products Limited is a UK-based frequency-control specialist within the Würth Elektronik eiSos group. The company supplies timing reference components for digital, communication and measurement electronics.
Its range covers quartz crystals, clock oscillators, TCXOs, VCXOs, OCXOs and rubidium-based references for high-precision frequency stability. Different families balance temperature stability, phase noise, power consumption and physical size to suit the target application.
Frequency alone is not enough to specify a timing component. Designers must assess initial tolerance, temperature stability, ageing, jitter and compatibility of the output waveform with the receiver. Passive crystals additionally require the correct load capacitance and oscillator drive conditions.
Applications
