The Crystal Oscillator Industry: The Invisible Engine from Basic Components to the Intelligent Ecosystem
Introduction
Behind the scene of Unitree Robotics' G1 robot's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala stage, crystal oscillators are quietly driving technological innovation in the field of electronic components. As a core component for robot motion control, sensor synchronization, and data processing, crystal oscillators, with their high precision and stability, have become the key to breakthroughs in the humanoid robot industry. Domestic manufacturers represented by Shenzhen Jingguanghua Electronics Co., Ltd. are reshaping the industry landscape through technological innovation and industrial chain collaboration.
Crystal Oscillators: The "Time Heart" of Robots
Crystal oscillators generate stable frequency signals through the piezoelectric effect, providing a unified time reference for robots' microprocessors, sensors, and actuators. In the field of humanoid robots, the control accuracy of joint motors needs to reach the 0.01 - millimeter level. The synchronized movements of force - controlled dexterous hands and the real - time operation of AI algorithms all rely on the high - frequency and stable output of crystal oscillators. Jingguanghua Electronics' 1612 - packaged crystal oscillator (1.6×1.2mm) has an accuracy a wide temperature range from - 40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for complex motion scenarios. Its 3225 series products support the navigation systems of sweeping robots with millimeter - level positioning capabilities. These products demonstrate Jingguanghua Electronics' product advantages in crystal oscillator accuracy, temperature adaptability, and positioning precision, meeting the stringent requirements of different robot application scenarios.
