Micro Crystal is one of the world market leaders for clock crystals and RTC modules. As part of the Swatch Group, know-how and innovation have been continuously invested in this product range for decades. Miniaturization is an important criterion in order to enable new designs with extremely small mechanical dimensions and at the same time to guarantee the reliability of the application.
With the RV-3028-C8, Micro Crystal has extended the options for extremely space-saving designs. The dimensions of 2.0mm x 1.2mm hardly suggest that a complete RTC including a crystal is integrated in the ceramic 8-pin housing. This means that the full range of functions of the proven RV-3028-C7 has been implemented in an even more space-saving design. Due to the limits of physics, the current requirement of the RV-3028-C8 is slightly higher than that of the RV-3028-C7 at 70nA typ @ 3V, but still well below 100nA.
These functions can be used to optimize many applications needing a reliable time base. Miniaturization combined with low-power requirements in particular challenge developers in implementing a clock function. Micro Crystal achieves this outstanding performance with the RV-3028-C8 through the perfect adaptation of the clock crystal and RTC IC.
In addition to the extremely small RV-3028-C8 presented here, Micro Crystal offers various RTC modules for a wide range of requirements. In addition to RTC modules with standard functions, low power and high accuracy (including temperature compensation) are key features.
