In today's rapidly developing electronic world, clock signals act as the 'heartbeat' of the system, and their precision and stability directly determine the boundaries of product performance. Whether it's the precise synchronization of a 5G base station, the millisecond-level decision-making of autonomous driving sensors, or the micro-readings of high-end test equipment, none of these can function without the reliable heart behind them – the crystal oscillator. However, are you also troubled by the selection limitations, inventory pressure, and design rigidity of traditional fixed-frequency crystal oscillators in your R&D and production?

It's time to embrace a more flexible, precise, and reliable solution.

We are proud to introduce the EPSON SG-8101 series programmable crystal oscillator – a core timing component designed to give engineers ultimate freedom in frequency control. It not only inherits EPSON's decades of excellence in quartz technology but also unlocks unprecedented design agility and supply chain efficiency through innovative programmable features.

Why Choose SG-8101? Three Core Advantages to Solve Your Fundamental Pain Points

1. Ultimate Flexibility – One Chip for All Applications

Say goodbye to the hassle and cost of stocking multiple models for different frequency requirements. SG-8101 allows you to set any desired output frequency within a wide range of 1 MHz to 170 MHz through programming. Whether it's rapid product line iterations, customized customer requirements, or last-minute design changes, with just one hardware piece, you can easily configure it through software, significantly shortening development cycles and reducing material management complexity.

2. Precision and Stability – Crafted by EPSON Expertise

As a global leader in quartz devices, EPSON has injected deep technical expertise into SG-8101:

• High Precision and Low Jitter: Provides excellent frequency stability and extremely low phase jitter, ensuring timing integrity for high-speed digital systems (such as FPGAs, processors, high-speed interfaces), reducing bit errors and enhancing overall system performance.
• Exceptional Stability: Maintains stable performance across the entire operating temperature range (selectable based on requirements), with strong resistance to environmental interference, ensuring reliable operation of your equipment under various harsh conditions.
• High Quality and Reliability: Upholding EPSON's consistently strict production standards, ensuring every crystal oscillator has long life and high reliability, safeguarding your product quality.

3. Space Saving – Optimized Design

Adopting industry-standard small packages (such as 2520, 3225, etc.), SG-8101 is the ideal choice for compact PCB design. Its active (with oscillator) design requires no complex external circuits to start up and output stable clock signals, simplifying your circuit design and saving valuable board space.
