In automotive navigation and voice interaction systems, the navigation-voice module is responsible for real-time positioning, route planning, and voice announcements. Its core typically consists of a GNSS receiver chip, an application processor, an audio codec, and memory. This module demands exceptionally high stability from its clock signal, requiring precise timing performance under the complex temperature variations and vibration conditions of a vehicle. Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs), with their built-in temperature compensation circuits, can automatically correct frequency deviation, providing high frequency stability better than ±1.0ppm across the full temperature range. This fundamentally solves issues like positioning delays, intermittent voice, or communication desynchronization caused by temperature drift, making TCXOs the key clock source for ensuring reliable system operation.
Within the automotive navigation-voice module, the 26MHz TCXO provides the precise master clock reference for the core processor and wireless communication units (such as 4G/5G modules, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth). Its role is to ensure highly synchronized generation and demodulation of RF signals for the baseband chip, directly impacting the acquisition speed and positioning accuracy of GPS/BeiDou signals, as well as the real-time performance of voice data transmission. Compared to standard crystal oscillators, its core advantages lie in excellent full-temperature stability (minimal frequency deviation across -40°C ~ 85°C) and low phase noise, effectively suppressing communication bit errors caused by clock jitter. This guarantees smooth and reliable navigation and voice services even under harsh automotive environments like extreme cold, heat, or thermal shock.
Hosonic Electronics' G22TC26.000LW000G is a high-performance 26MHz TCXO. It employs a compact 2520 package (2.5mm x 2.0mm) and an operating voltage range of 1.8V to 3.0V, perfectly adapting to the wide-voltage power supply environment of automotive systems. Its operating temperature range meets the industrial-grade standard of -40°C to +85°C. The device integrates a high-precision compensation network internally, enabling it to continuously output a stable, clean clock signal under the wide-temperature and vibration scenarios typical of automotive applications. Compared to general-purpose TCXOs, it demonstrates significant advantages across several key parameters, as detailed in the following comparison:
Key Parameter | G22TC26.000LW000G (Hosonic) | Typical General-Purpose TCXO | Core Value for Automotive Navigation-Voice Module |
Frequency Stability | ±0.5ppm (-40℃ ~ +85℃) | ±1.0ppm ~ ±2.5ppm | Higher frequency accuracy ensures long-term synchronization precision for the GNSS receiver and communication modules, improving positioning speed and voice call quality. |
Phase Noise | -150 dBc/Hz @ 1kHz offset (Typ.) | -140 dBc/Hz ~ -145 dBc/Hz | Lower phase noise means a purer clock signal, significantly reducing the noise floor in RF and audio circuits, thereby enhancing receiver sensitivity and voice clarity. |
Operating Voltage | 1.8V ~ 3.0V | Often fixed 3.0V or 3.3V | Wide-voltage design compatible with various power rails in automotive systems, simplifying power supply circuit design and improving system power adaptability. |
Start-up Time | < 3 ms | Typically 5 ms ~ 10 ms | Fast start-up enables quicker system recovery from sleep mode to normal operation, meeting the fast-response requirements of automotive devices. |
Package Size | 2520 (2.5x2.0mm) | 2520 or 3225 | Mainstream small-size package delivers high performance while saving valuable PCB space, facilitating miniaturized module design. |
