The application of Epson SG2016CAA crystal oscillator in car cameras

In today's rapidly developing era of intelligent driving and automotive electronics, the in car camera module, as the core component of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), undertakes the key tasks of real-time image acquisition, data transmission, and processing. As the "clock heart" of the module, the performance of the crystal oscillator directly determines the real-time and reliability of the system. Epson's SG2016CAA automotive grade crystal oscillator, with its high precision, wide temperature adaptability, and rigorous automotive grade certification, has become an ideal choice for in car camera modules.

The characteristics and advantages of SG2016CAA crystal oscillator applied in car cameras;

1. High precision clock signal ensures image quality

SG2016CAA provides precise clock signals covering a frequency range of 8MHz to 54MHz, ensuring that the camera can stably capture high-resolution images in complex environments such as high-speed driving and light changes, and achieve low latency data transmission and processing. Its low jitter characteristic (typical value ± 50ppm) further optimizes image synchronization, avoiding image ghosting or tearing.

2. Vehicle level certification

This crystal oscillator has passed AEC-Q200 certification and is a car grade product that has undergone rigorous testing and certification. It has undergone rigorous tests such as vibration, impact, and high-temperature reflow soldering, meeting the high reliability application requirements of car cameras, ADAS systems, and more. Compared to consumer grade crystal oscillators, its design life is longer and the failure rate is lower, providing a fundamental guarantee for driving safety.

3. Wide temperature range and environmental resistance characteristics

SG2016CAA supports a wide operating temperature range of * * -40 ℃ to+125 ℃ * *, ensuring stable operation even near the engine compartment or in extremely cold regions

Its vibration and impact resistant design can withstand bumps and vibrations during vehicle operation, and adapt to harsh environments such as sand, dust, and humidity.

4. Miniaturization design, suitable for compact spaces

Adopting a 2.0 × 1.6 × 0.7mm ultra-thin package and a four pin patch design, it saves circuit board space and helps to miniaturize and lightweight the car camera module. At the same time, the wide voltage supply range (1.6V to 3.63V) is compatible with multiple onboard power systems, simplifying design complexity.

5. High reliability and low power consumption extend the service life of equipment

The SG2016CAA crystal oscillator has achieved low-power operation through optimized circuit design, effectively extending the service life of the camera module. Its built-in anti-interference filtering circuit can resist electromagnetic noise in the vehicle environment, ensuring the purity of the clock signal. In vehicle standby or low-power mode, the crystal oscillator can still maintain stable clock output, supporting real-time wake-up and fast response of the camera, providing a guarantee for seamless switching of intelligent driving.

The Epson SG2016CAA automotive grade crystal oscillator is an ideal clock solution for car camera modules due to its high precision, wide temperature range adaptability, compact packaging, and high reliability. It not only provides a stable time reference for the camera, but also helps the intelligent driving system achieve more accurate environmental perception and decision-making. With the accelerated development of automotive intelligence, SG2016CAA will continue to promote the upgrade of in car camera technology with excellent performance, injecting core power into the safety and convenience of future travel.
