Low-power OCXO, micro GPSDO and CSAC for drones, trackers and battery-powered sensors where every milliwatt counts.
Drones, remote sensors, trackers and battery-powered IoT end nodes live on a tight power budget. Every milliwatt extends the flight or battery life. The oscillator cannot be a full-power OCXO that drains the pack in minutes; it also cannot drift so fast that GNSS-denied operation loses position. The answer is a low-power TCXO, a micro-disciplined oscillator, or a chip-scale atomic clock where holdover is critical.
| Use Case | Recommended KCCS | Key Spec |
|---|---|---|
| Drone flight controller | KOM05 / KOM07 SMD OCXO | 7.5×5.5×3.3 mm / SMD 9×7, low power |
| Battery tracker / asset node | KOP27 low-power | 3.3 V, 33 mA steady |
| GNSS-denied navigation holdover | KDO9 / KDO5 micro GPSDO | 12.5×9 / 7×5 mm, 50 ns sync |
| Long-life unattended sensor | KCSA35 CSAC | 130 mW, atomic holdover |
