Post by thread:Low frequency ceramic resonators

Assuming that ceramic resonators are, in fact, cheaper than crystals, are they available in very low frequencies? All I have been able to locate is 4 MHz and up parts. I would need one that worked at 32 kHz. (Running at 4MHz and sleeping 99.9% of the time is not an option.) If anyone knows of any, please reply to me at spam_OUTcostallsTakeThisOuTcuug.ab.ca or post to the list. SMD parts are preferred, BTW. Thanks for any info. ------------------------------------------------------------- - Sean R.S.

Even if they were, they'd be about one inch square and would be VERY shock-sensitive. You'll have to use a crystal for this application. -Andy Andrew Warren - EraseMEfastfwdspam_OUTTakeThisOuTix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499
