Ultra-Low Power Fast-Start OCXO Empowering the Development of 5G-A and 6G

With the evolution of 5G-A and 6G communication technologies and the rise of the low-altitude economy, emerging applications such as portable wireless communications, mobile testing equipment, and mobile precision positioning are undergoing unprecedented transformation. These applications not only require ultra-low power high-precision clock solutions to improve device synchronization, thus enhancing system reliability and stability, but also pose stricter power consumption requirements on clock solutions due to the limitations of device power supply.

In this context, XLONG Technology has launched an ultra-low power fast-start oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) designed to overcome the technical bottlenecks of traditional OCXOs in terms of power consumption and startup time, providing an efficient clock solution for portable devices.

Industry Background: Challenges of 5G-A and 6G

5G-A, as an evolved version of 5G, aims to further enhance network performance, enabling broader connectivity, higher data rates, and lower latency. Meanwhile, research into 6G technology has already begun, with the goal of creating a more intelligent, green, and secure network ecosystem. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, and other fields, the demand for clock synchronization is continuously increasing. This is particularly critical for applications that require high-precision synchronization while on the move, such as drones, mobile medical equipment, and intelligent transportation systems, where high-precision and low-power clock sources are essential.

Technical Breakthrough: Ultra-Low Power and Fast Startup

Traditional OCXOs, while offering high-frequency stability, have long been plagued by high power consumption, making them unsuitable for the aforementioned applications. Drawing on nearly 20 years of core technology accumulation in high-stability oscillators, XLONG Technology has overcome the power consumption bottleneck of OCXOs and successfully developed an ultra-low power OCXO. This product adopts an advanced vacuum suspension structure and proprietary patented design to achieve precise temperature control of the OCXO, fundamentally solving the high power consumption issue of conventional OCXOs. At the same time, it reduces the warm-up time of the OCXO to within 60 seconds, as shown in the table below.

Features of the Ultra-Low Power OCXO

The ultra-low power OCXO from XLONG Technology offers the following features:

Compared to traditional products, the ultra-low power OCXO not only excels in power consumption but also shows outstanding performance in frequency stability and phase noise. This is of great importance for reducing communication delays, improving synchronization accuracy, and enhancing overall system stability.

Typical Applications: Meeting Diverse Market Demands

The frequency stability and low phase noise characteristics of the ultra-low power OCXO effectively improve device performance by reducing communication delays, enhancing synchronization precision, and improving system stability. Meanwhile, its low power consumption and fast startup features help significantly reduce device power consumption and extend battery life, making it suitable for fast-start and portable applications.

In summary, the ultra-low power fast-start OCXO is applicable to a wide range of scenarios, including but not limited to portable wireless communication, mobile testing equipment, portable precision positioning, beacons and rescue systems, and PTP Ethernet switches. These devices often operate in complex environments, and the ultra-low power fast-start OCXO, with its superior performance, provides strong technical support for these applications. As 5G-A and 6G technologies continue to evolve, the mobile communications market increasingly demands low-power and miniaturized OCXOs. XLONG Technology will continue to focus on technological innovation, advancing OCXO technology towards lower phase noise, lower power consumption, smaller package sizes, and higher stability, providing customers with more diverse product choices and driving higher levels of technological advancement in the industry!
