Application of Epson FA-128 48MHz Crystal Oscillator in DSLR Camera Industry

    DSLR cameras occupy an important position in the professional photography and high-end consumer markets, and their performance and stability directly affect the shooting effect and user experience. As one of the key components in DSLR cameras, the quality and performance of the crystal oscillator are crucial. In the entire imaging equipment PCB motherboard, a variety of electronic components need to be applied in order to work accurately and stably, such as capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors, ICs, and crystals commonly used in electronic products. Among various imaging modules, crystals are the most important component to ensure the stability of the PCB motherboard, providing timing control for electronic devices. The accuracy and stability of crystal oscillators and clock modules will directly determine the reliability of the system. According to the crystal application requirements of the imaging equipment PCB motherboard, this solution adopts EPSON's high-precision 48MHz crystal oscillator product, model FA-128, frequency 48MHz, load capacitor 16PF, and accuracy 15PPM.

    This FA-128 encoded Q22FA1280004400 crystal oscillator is well suited for the application of imaging equipment PCB motherboards. Due to its excellent interface specifications, crystal oscillators of different functional types can be easily integrated into the entire system. As a well-known global Japanese brand manufacturer, Epson Crystal oscillators produce crystal oscillators and clock products with frequency coverage ranging from KHz to GHz. These products have excellent characteristics such as high performance, small size, and low power consumption, and have been widely used in various industrial systems. For example, this Q22FA1280004400 crystal oscillator has a small size, high accuracy, strong adaptability to working environment temperature, suitable for harsh industrial environments, optimized packaging, easy integration, and ultra-low power consumption。

    In addition to the above advantages, the FA-128 crystal oscillator has the advantages of high precision and high stability performance. For applications such as imaging equipment that require long usage time and power consumption, the FA-128 crystal oscillator is a very good choice. Featuring an ultra small package size of 2.0x1.6x0.5mm, it can save system space. In addition, considering the aging rate of other electronic components, the frequency aging rate is ± 1ppm/year, while ensuring a longer service life of electronic components. The maximum driving power of this electronic component does not exceed 100 μ W, making it easier to achieve low-power design compared to active crystals and more suitable for crystal oscillator solutions in imaging equipment.
