About quartz crystals

Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth’s continental crust and is well known for its piezoelectric properties. When mechanical stress is applied, quartz crystals generate an electric potential. One of the most common modern uses of this property is the crystal oscillator, which is essential wherever precise timing and frequency generation are required.

This background matters because QuartzCom’s expertise is rooted not only in supplying components, but in understanding the physical principles behind precision frequency control and applying them in demanding technical environments.

In demanding electronic systems, frequency control is never just about selecting a part number. Circuit design, environmental influences, long-term stability and application-specific requirements all affect performance. QuartzCom works closely with customers to optimize designs at an early stage and provide reliable, high-quality solutions quickly and efficiently.

Engineering

Application-focused engineering support

QuartzCom offers technical consultancy, design support and training for standard and customised crystal units, oscillators and filters. The engineering team helps customers evaluate specifications, improve circuit performance and identify the right solution for demanding applications.

Whether the requirement calls for a standard component or a customer-specific design, the focus remains the same: stable performance, practical feasibility and a solution that fits the application, not just the data­sheet.

Testing

IEC-based testing services

QuartzCom provides a wide range of testing services for quartz crystals and oscillators based on IEC standards. These services are designed to verify electrical and environmental behaviour, support qualification processes and help customers better understand long-term component performance.

For quartz crystals, testing services include electrical parameter measurements at +25°C, frequency deviation versus temperature and ageing analysis. For oscillators, QuartzCom also offers testing for jitter, phase noise, Allan deviation (ADEV), ageing and frequency deviation versus temperature. Additional services include screening and failure analysis.
