Epson, a global technology leader, has introduced the OG7050CAN, a cutting-edge oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) designed to meet the escalating power efficiency demands of data-intensive industries.

This innovative OCXO boasts a 85% reduction in volume and a 56% decrease in power consumption compared to previous Epson models, the firm’s blog post indicate.

“With its compact 7.0 × 5.0 mm, 3.3 mm high form factor, the OG7050CAN is ideally suited for integration into base stations, data centers, and other critical communication infrastructure where stability and precision are paramount.”

As the world increasingly relies on 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and the emerging 6G technologies, the demand for efficient devices has surged.

Epson says it has directly addressed this need by developing the OG7050CAN, which prioritizes both energy conservation and space optimization.

By leveraging Epson’s miniaturized SC-cut crystal unit and optimized low-power oven structure, the OG7050CAN achieves faster frequency stabilization and delivers highly reliable performance while reducing operating costs.

“Epson is committed to delivering products that advance both technology and sustainability,” said Mukesh Bector, Epson’s Regional Head for East and West Africa. “Our new OCXO combines Epson’s innovative crystal technology with precision engineering, providing robust solutions that meet the evolving needs of data and communication industries worldwide.”

The Epson OG7050CAN will be available for sampling in April 2025 and will be showcased at the International Timing and Sync Forum (ITSF 2024) in Spain from November 4 to 7, where Epson is a gold sponsor.

OCXOs are highly precise frequency reference sources that use temperature-controlled ovens to stabilize crystal oscillators.

They are crucial for applications requiring accurate timing and frequency, such as telecommunications, aerospace, industrial equipment, and frequency reference sources.

OCXOs ensure precise timing for network synchronization, satellite systems, radar systems, and medical imaging equipment.

They also serve as primary frequency standards and master clocks for network synchronization and data centers.
