NDK TCXOs address temperature drift challenges in outdoor communications

As outdoor 4G modules become widely used in IoT applications such as smart security, environmental monitoring, and remote control, their communication stability is crucial for reliable data transmission. The mainstream architecture typically consists of a baseband chip, RF front-end, memory unit, and a clock circuit, where the clock component must provide an accurate frequency reference for the system. Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs), with their built-in temperature compensation mechanism, effectively suppress frequency drift caused by environmental temperature changes. Compared to standard crystal oscillators, TCXOs improve frequency stability by an order of magnitude, ensuring communication quality and signal integrity for modules operating across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Within outdoor 4G modules, the 19.200MHz TCXO serves as the clock source, providing the timing reference for core frequency synthesis and data transmission. Its core value lies in high frequency stability and low phase noise, maintaining a frequency deviation within ±2.5ppm even under extreme temperature fluctuations. This prevents signal synchronization errors or data packet loss caused by clock jitter. For example, in environments ranging from intense sun exposure to freezing temperatures, the TCXO can output a stable frequency through real-time compensation, enabling the module to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio connection and support various communication standards from LTE-Cat1 to Cat4. Furthermore, its low power consumption helps extend the battery life of solar or battery-powered devices, while its compact package fits the tight layouts of modern modules, significantly enhancing system integration and reliability.

NDK's NT2016SB is a high-precision 19.200MHz TCXO featuring an ultra-compact 2.0×1.6×0.8mm package and a wide operating voltage range of 1.7V to 3.3V, meeting both industrial and automotive-grade temperature requirements. This device demonstrates significant advantages in outdoor 4G module applications:

The chip incorporates NDK's patented temperature compensation algorithm and high-performance crystal material, achieving precise frequency control across the full -40°C to 85°C temperature range. Its clipped sine wave output further optimizes electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). As an official authorized partner of NDK, MANDU provides comprehensive technical support for the NT2016SB, including component selection guidance, reference designs, free sample applications, and volume production assurance, helping customers quickly pass carrier certification tests.
