What kind of products are currently popular in the quartz crystal oscillator market?

    Various signs indicate that mini SMD crystals and temperature-compensated crystals, which are in short supply on the market, dominate.

It really corresponds to a saying that has prevailed in the industry recently: Mini SMD crystal oscillators are king, and those who gain warmth will win the world. Many people may be wondering, why do mini SMD crystals and temperature compensated crystals have such a big impact on the market?

Let’s let the mini SMD crystal oscillator supplier-Aoyuda, answer for everyone.

    First of all, we have to start with the function of the mini SMD crystal oscillator. Since 32768 is equal to the 15th power of 2, 32.768khz is easier to divide in order to generate a clock frequency of 1 second. This feature allows the mini SMD series crystal oscillator to be used in watches, mobile phones and The display clock on the computer shows great powers.

    Watches, mobile phones and computers are all commonly used electronic products in daily life. As the central component of the mini SMD series crystal oscillator, it is easy to understand how much demand there is in the market.

    Then let's take a look at market factors. This year, affected by the new crown epidemic, the production capacity of many manufacturers has dropped sharply. At the beginning of the year, the factories in Malaysia, the Philippines and the European continent ceased production one after another, and a certain big-name crystal oscillator we commonly used was not spared. The entire factory was shut down for more than half a month. This series of changes directly caused the market shipment time. And the product delivery time becomes longer.

    Although the production capacity of various crystal oscillator manufacturers recovered after the end of the epidemic, the subsequent recovery of the electronics industry has once again swept away the mini SMD series crystal oscillators in the market. This is also the main reason for the popularity of the mini SMD series crystal oscillator market. one.

    In contrast, the market demand for temperature-compensated crystal oscillators is not as urgent as the 32.768KHZ series crystal oscillators. Temperature-compensated crystal oscillators are mainly used in products that require high stability such as positioning and communication modules. From past experience, the market demand for such crystals is not very large. The reason for the popularity of the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator market has to be Speaking of a big fire.

    The AKM chip is one of the important raw materials required for the consumption of temperature-compensated crystal oscillators. On October 20, a fire caused the consumption of the AKM chip factory to paralyze, and the increase in the price of raw materials caused a sharp rise in the price of scrap.

We all know the butterfly effect. A butterfly fluttered its wings quietly on the stable ocean. The fermented storm swept the entire ocean and even the continent. The AKM fire was the butterfly with its wings.

    The lack of supply of AKM chips has caused the price of chips on the market to rise. The consumption cost of temperature-compensated crystal oscillators is much higher than before, and the price of products has naturally increased. At present, the price of temperature-compensated crystal oscillators was more than three times the previous price. , Comparing this value is really difficult to think about not to be popular.
