Token offers full piezo resonator lines which meet the performance requirements of today's industrial piezo resonator applications. Ours consumer grade resonators are rated from -20°C to +80°C, and industrial resonator standards offer stable performance with an operating temperature range. The temperature variation and aging characteristics of the automotive grade serve the market well, providing reliable start up and stable oscillation in microprocessor circuits across a wide variety of applications. Token offers ceramic resonators in two extending frequency ranges in MHz and KHz.
For more than two decades, piezo technology has been instrumental in the proliferation of solid state electronics. A view of the future reveals that even greater expectations will be placed on piezoelectric material in the area of new applications and for more stringent performance criteria in current products. Traditionally, nearly all low and high-end AM / FM commercial radios use piezo band-pass filters. However, applications are also found in cordless telephones, cellular systems, 2-way communications, and the television industry.
As a world leader in the development of piezo technology, Token Electronics had been able to develop specialized piezo materials which when combined with an advance design have resulted in a complete line of practical, inexpensive ceramic filters for entertainment and communications applications.

Token's quartz crystal resonator series meets updated industrial demands including wider frequency and operating temperature range, higher and more frequency stability, industrial standard ceramic surface mount packages. Customer's design and requirements are also encouraged and welcomed.
When a high D.C. voltage is applied to such ceramics, the directions of the spontaneous polarizations are brought to an uniformity and a ferroelectricity ceramics is attained.
Download PDFThe piezo by itself is not a clock, so it must be used with circuitry built into the IC to create the clock signal. The clock circuit consists of the passive resonator, quartz or ceramic piezo, and an active amplifier that is built into the IC. Please refer to this page for Piezo Electric Devices Precaution Usage.

IC and/or External Capacitors
Operating Temperature Ranges:
The Piezo Resonators should not be operated beyond the Operating Temperature Range specified in the catalog.
Changes/Drifts in Oscillating Frequency:
Oscillating frequency may drift depending upon the controlling IC and/or external capacitors C1 and C2 used in the circuit design.
Token standard resonator is adjusted with our standard measuring circuit. There could be slight shift in frequency other types of IC are used. When you require exact oscillation frequency in your application, we can adjust it with your specified circuit on request.
Fail-Safe Design for Equipment:
When using The Piezo Resonators, it is recommended that you build a protective failsafe circuit into your design to prevent equipment damage in the event that the resonator malfunctions or fails.
Abnormal Mechanical Stresses:
Abnormal or excess mechanical stresses such as vibration or shock should be avoided when handling or storing resonators to prevent damage and cracking.
Overvoltage Spikes & Electrostatic Discharges:
Voltage spikes and electrostatic discharges may cause damage/malfunction or failures of the resonators.
Stray Capacitance:
Stray capacitances and insulation resistances on printed circuit boards may cause abnormal oscillation or stoppage of oscillation. These factors should be taken into consideration when designing the circuit.
Abnormal Oscillation:
The Piezo Resonators are always accompanied by spurious resonances. Spurious oscillations or stoppage of oscillation may occur depending on the circuit design (IC used, frequency characteristics of the IC, supply voltage etc.) and/or environmental conditions. These factors should be taken into consideration when designing the circuit.
Surface Mounting Consideration:
In automated mounting of The Piezo Resonators on printed circuit boards, any bending, expanding and pulling forces or shocks to the resonator should be kept to a minimum to prevent electrical failures and/or mechanical damage to the devices.
