The new Epson FC2012AN and FC3215AN quartz crystal units are very robust, offering a very low ESR of 35kΩ (typ) and support a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 105 degrees Celsius which is a critical for portable electronics in extremely space constrained applications. In addition, these crystals deliver a fixed frequency tolerance of ±20ppm. The FC2012AN is 2.0 x 1.2mm in size, and the FC3215AN is 3.2 x 1.5mm.

“Developers of cutting-edge technology always look to integrate higher efficiency and energy-saving designs into their products,” said Chris McCormick, director of product management, Timing Devices, Epson America, Inc. “Epson’s new FC2012AN and FC3215AN flagship crystal families deliver in both areas, enabling customers to make smaller products that use less energy.”
