A fully integrated solution eliminates not only the external crystal or the ceramic resonator, but also the additional components frequently needed (capacitors), plus the extra I/O pins required in the IC package as well as the cost of mounting these extra components on the PCB.

Since the basic high precision oscillator technology can cover a frequency range of 4 to 256 MHz, the exact operating frequency only needs to be fixed at the time where the oscillator is being calibrated. Multi-Frequency operation: The NXO Technology can be configured to operate at multiple frequencies can be changed by a factor of any multiple of two (higher or lower) preserving the same accuracy and without starting a new calibration sequence. This is a very useful feature for systems having a power save mode, where the system is working at a lower frequency, in order to save power.

Since our NXO Technology^TM is fully integrated and not based on any ‘mechanical’ or vibrating components, our high precision oscillator is completely insensitive to mechanical vibrations or aging effects.
