Tip: When selecting a crystal for an MCU/SoC, verify your oscillator negative resistance margin against the worst-case ESR for your frequency band and temperature tier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FCX-5M suitable for precision test instruments?
Yes. The FCX-5M supports tight tolerance (±10 ppm @ 25°C ±3°C) and low aging (±3 ppm, 1st year), making it a practical timing reference for precision test and measurement equipment.
What is the ESR performance across different frequency bands?
ESR is specified as 80 Ω for 8–19.999 MHz, 60 Ω for 20–25.999 MHz, and 40 Ω for frequencies above 26 MHz. This banding helps align crystal choice with oscillator start-up margin and loop gain.
Do you offer samples and volume production?
Yes. We support samples, volume production, and project-based customization depending on frequency, CL, screening and order quantity. Email your target specs and quantity to FCom@fujicrystal.com for an RFQ.
What information should I provide for an RFQ (no online pricing)?
Please include frequency, load capacitance (CL), tolerance, operating temperature range/stability tier, drive level constraints, packaging (tape & reel), quantity, and any screening/test-report requirements. We will quote based on your exact configuration.
Can you customize frequency, CL, or screening?
Yes. Custom frequency, CL, stability tiers, and screening options can be evaluated based on feasibility and volume. If you share your oscillator conditions and target margins, our applications team can recommend the safest spec point.
What about MOQ and lead time?
MOQ and lead time vary by frequency, stability tier, screening, and order size. We support both sampling and production scheduling—contact us with your target specs and quantity to confirm current availability.
