Low SWaP OCXO for Networking Applications

As 5G/6G networks and AI-driven data growth push infrastructure to new limits, timing solutions must deliver exceptional stability without increasing size or power consumption. This webinar explores a new class of low SWaP OCXOs that combines miniaturized high-Q SC-cut crystal, advanced thermal packaging, and precision digital oven control to achieve <±1 ppb stability, ultra-low phase noise, and low current consumption in a reduced footprint. Join us to learn how next-generation OCXO design is enabling scalable, energy-efficient synchronization for networking, data center, and mission-critical applications.

Overview

As 5G and emerging 6G networks scale to support AI/ML workloads, cloud services, and exponential data growth, the demand for highly stable yet power-efficient timing solutions has never been greater. Traditional oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs) deliver excellent stability, but often at the cost of size and energy consumption—creating challenges for modern networking equipment where size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints are critical.

In this webinar, we introduce a new concept in low SWaP OCXO design that overcomes these tradeoffs. By combining a miniaturized high-Q SC-cut crystal, a thermally optimized double-sealed package, and high-precision digital oven control, this next-generation solution achieves <±1 ppb frequency stability across –40° C to +105° C, fast warm-up times, ultra-low phase noise with jitter-cleaned PLL outputs up to 170 MHz, and exceptional holdover performance.

Join us to explore the design innovations behind this breakthrough and learn how advanced OCXO technology is supporting compact, energy-efficient synchronization for 5G/6G infrastructure, data centers, financial networks, and other mission-critical timing applications.

Key Takeaways

  • Learn how to secure system stability without sacrificing power or size.
  • Achieve high stability OCXO with minimal power penalty
  • Understand that next-generation infrastructure requires rethinking timing selection.
  • Explore how power efficiency is a network-level cost driver.
