Seiko Instruments Reduces Package Size of its 32kHz SCX Quartz Crystals by More Than 50 Percent

NEU ISENBURG, Germany, November 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    The new quartz crystal SC-20S is another 32.768kHz model of SCX series by Seiko
Instruments with smaller (2.05mm x 1.20mm), thinner (0.60mm) and 100% Pb-free SMD ceramic
package. Thus SC-20S is qualified even more for portable and other applications demanding
printed circuit boards (PCB) with very high component density.

    SC-20S is available with a load capacitance of 7pF, 9pF or 12.5pF.

    Quartz crystals are used as precise clock generators for low power systems like
watches and other real-time clock (RTC) applications, watchdog timers (WDT) and for the
secondary clock function of microprocessors in standby and sleep mode to minimize power
consumption.

    The SCX quartz crystals use a tuning-fork resonator processed in a photolithographic
technology, which assures high reliability, low aging (3ppm/year) and excellent shock and
heat resistance. Ion gun trimming method allows very tight frequency tolerance over a wide
temperature range (-40degree(s)C to +85degree(s)C).

    The SC-20S is available in high-volume quantities. Samples may be obtained from Seiko
Instruments GmbH or their local representatives.

    Seiko Instruments provides a Circuit Matching Service & Solution (CMSS) to all
customers for design, evaluation and optimization of application specific oscillation
circuits using SII quartz crystals. Please visit
