Geyer Electronic have been in the FCP business for almost 60 years and developments have moved on at quite a pace since its conception in 1964. While the market has struggled to deal with supply challenges, Geyer Electronic have been working hard to increase stock availability and decrease lead-times of their frequency control products. As a result, tuning fork crystals are, once again, ex-stock items as well as some of the more popular MHz crystals, oscillators and resonators. For non-stock items, standard frequency crystals and resonators are back to delivery in around 12 weeks while lead-times for oscillators can be as short as 34 weeks, depending on specification, enabling Geyer Electronic to offer an increased choice of samples for design-ins and fast supply of small quantities for prototype runs.
Geyer Electronic have consistently, over the past decades, developed new products to meet the ever-changing demands of the marketplace and have continued this investment, even as they addressed the recent supply issues, by considering the market’s increasing demand for an alternative to a Tuning Fork Crystal that surpasses not only the design but, most importantly, the technical parameters of conventional clock crystals. Their answer is a 32.768kHz version of their award winning KXO-V93T (Electronik Magazine’s 2020 Product of the Year) – an Oscillator with all the attributes of a Tuning Fork Crystal!
GEYER Electronic have been successfully offering oscillators in established miniaturised packages for several years now, and the KXO-V93T XO’s tiny dimensions of only 1.6 x 1.2 x 0.6 mm makes it particularly shock and vibration resistant in the 1 to 80 MHz frequency range currently available, whilst also offering low frequency tolerance over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range, low jitter values, tri-state function and low current consumption. The new 32.768kHz KXO-V93T version is a future-orientated component that uses the advantage of the ultra-miniaturised package to meet the most stringent technical market requirements of frequency tolerance, settling time and current consumption, whilst solving the stability problems over the temperature and voltage range of conventional Tuning Fork Crystals and is used, in addition to the common applications for oscillating crystals, in all industries (eg industrial automation, medical equipment, IoT, M2M, wireless sensors, security technology) that require this timing frequency. For those that are interested in using it as part of their project, sample quantities are available with short delivery times.
Geyer Electronic’s wide range of crystals, oscillators, SAW filters and resonators, manufactured in facilities in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, provides optimum size and performance for clients’ applications. A robust Quality Management system ensures full traceability of all components from initial production to delivery, and includes, amongst others, ISO 9001, RoHS and Reach certification as standard on each product. Additionally, for the life-time security of the project, Geyer Electronic guarantees long-term supply with no discontinuation of product ranges. For those applications that require a little extra, a number of AEC-Q200 qualified crystals and oscillators with working temperatures as high as +150°C are already available – a constantly evolving range, increasing in number as new products are developed for specific applications and projects.
Geyer Electronic GmbH is the hub of the Geyer company group, offering a major stock depot for Europe and beyond and engineering expertise from the Geyer Design and Test Department. Recognising that service is just as important as the quality of the product, an international supply network of Geyer companies and distribution centres then look after clients’ interests worldwide. Here at Geyer Electronic UK Ltd we continue the Geyer Electronic business ethos of developing partnerships with our customers, by collaborating hand-in-hand with our Head Office in Germany and working with the Geyer Design and Test Department when required, liaising and supporting engineers to identify and sample components at design-in stage, and supplying small-volume quantities for prototype production. Once a part is approved and the production schedule is in place, we can work with clients’ manufacturing schedules, alongside their appointed CEMs, by supplying from our stock here in the UK, thereby offering Buyers a stress-free process by removing the challenges of import procedures and duty charges. For projects manufactured further afield, clients can be confident of receiving the same professional and approachable service wherever production might be as the international network of Geyer Offices and distributors work closely together to supply in line with forecast and blanket orders, providing assurance that Geyer Electronic support continues from prototype stage right through to volume production.
