TKD Low Voltage Oscillators are engineered for battery-powered devices, running reliably at 1.2 V while keeping tight frequency stability. Compact 2016/2520/3225 packages with low current consumption suit wearables, IoT sensors and portable equipment.
Discover TKD's Low Voltage Oscillator series below. Designed around 1.2 V operation, these oscillators draw minimal current while delivering reliable CMOS timing for power-sensitive applications. Compact footprints and wide frequency coverage simplify integration into wearables, battery monitors, smart meters and other always-on systems.
Design the power rail with ripple below 50 mV peak-to-peak and place decoupling capacitors close to the VCC pin so the oscillator always sees a clean, stable supply.
Apply a controlled power ramp and keep the oscillator enabled after the MCU clock starts to avoid unreliable start-up and spurious frequency shifts during system boot.
Low-voltage SPXOs draw only a few milliamps at 1.2 V; include start-up surge and CMOS load switching when sizing the regulator to prevent supply droop.
TKD low-voltage oscillators hold frequency stability of ±50 ppm or better across the 1.2 V operating range, keeping timing accurate even as the battery discharges.
Tight regulation of the 1.2 V rail minimizes voltage-dependent frequency shifts; designers should keep supply ripple low and decouple the oscillator locally.
Combine the low supply voltage with a stable thermal design so the combined voltage and temperature effects stay within the system timing budget.
