Low-Power kHz Crystal Oscillators

Abracon ultra-low-power kHz crystal oscillators deliver accurate timing while consuming minimal energy, making them well-suited for battery-operated and always-on designs. Offered in compact surface-mount packages of 1610 (1.6 mm × 1.0 mm), 2016 (2.0 mm × 1.6 mm), and 3215 (3.2 mm × 1.5 mm), they operate at the standard 32.768 kHz with typical current consumption around 1 µA and startup times under 250 ms. Their small form factor and efficiency make them ideal for integration into wearables, medical equipment, IoT sensors, and MCU-based real-time clocks.

Compared to traditional crystals or oscillators, these solutions streamline design, improve power efficiency, and maintain stable performance across multiple package options. With CMOS output, wide voltage compatibility, and a tight frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm, this oscillator family provides designers with dependable, space-saving, and energy-conscious timing components for next-generation smart and connected devices.
