Seems to me that an internal CPU oscillator will not stay tuned withing 1% over the requested temperature range. Typical values are 7.6 to 8.4MHz over -40 to +85 deg. Meindert

When I am looking at a spec sheet from there like this one http://global.kyocera.com/application/automotive/product/compo/pdf/xtal/105_e.pdf I am somehow missing a G-rating. There are automotive applications such as On-Star where automotive electronics have to function for some time after a major crash. The deployment of the airbags isn't necessarily the end of things, electronically speaking. If I'd be in Ulf's situation and it absolutely had to be crystal precision I'd also look at defense suppliers. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

in my business, 2000 hours is a long time.. !! i'm happy to get 1000 hours from a tool.. at 200 C LOL.. a crystal for DC.. :)

Vectron has some VXCO:s for -55 to +125 degC. e.g. http://www.vectron.com/products/xo/co408.htm (No G-rating stated, what I saw) This one has a G-rating, since it's a mil spec component. http://www.vectron.com/products/military/xo/c1250.pdf

Yep, Mil-Std-202 is what to look for. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com

The LIN bus does an auto-baud transaction, perhaps it is time for the CAN bus devices to offer the same (or similar) feature ? On chip OSC are steadily improving, but some baud-check is a good way to help -jg

Look at the bright side: In America everything is bigger. Maybe we can build it 8-D -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com
