High-Reliability Quartz Crystals from Diodes Incorporated Withstand Harsh Conditions in Automotive Applications
August 29 2019 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) introduced a series of
automotive-compliant timekeeping crystals that withstand harsh
operating conditions to ensure outstanding accuracy and reliability
in tire-pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), infotainment,
telematics, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Capable of sustained operation at centrifugal forces up to
1500g, the new XRQ crystals pass the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J2657 specification for TPMS, now a mandatory
safety feature for new cars marketed in territories worldwide. The
XRQ series crystals are resistant to shocks up to 8000g, which is
significantly higher than the standard (1500g). They also surpass
industry-standard JIS-C0044 drop tests by surviving falls of up to
1.2 meters.
XRQ crystals meet the requirements of ultrasonic welding
manufacturing processes, which is cleaner than traditional
processes and used when manufacturing hermetically sealed objects,
such as a TPMS. The process can be used to produce automotive
components that must provide superior precision and
reliability.
The XRQ series is suitable for automotive applications, both
under-the-hood and in passenger-compartment locations. It is
AEC-Q200 qualified and available in Grade 1 (-40°C to 125°C), Grade
2 (-40°C to 105°C), and Grade 3 (-40°C to 85°C) temperature ranges.
XRQ devices are PPAP capable and are manufactured in IATF16949
certified facilities.
Three standard sizes are available. XR32Q variants in the 3.2mm
× 2.5mm outline are available in frequencies from 12MHz to 66MHz.
2.5mm × 2.0mm XR25Q devices are available from 16MHz to 66MHz, and
the 2.0mm × 1.6mm XR20Q from 24MHz to 66MHz. The ceramic
surface-mount packages are seam-sealed for hermeticity and
mechanical integrity.
