SERVING SPACE AND OTHER HIGH RELIABILITY APPLICATIONS

  • Q-Tech was the first company to use radiation hardened high-speed CMOS microcircuits in our space qualified crystal oscillators.
  • Q-Tech has produced oscillators that have successfully survived total dose radiation levels over 1MRad(Si).
  • Q-Tech is currently offering Space level oscillators in Flat Pack/Butterfly (FP), Dual-In-Line (DIP), Transistor-Outline (TO), and ceramic surface mount packages at 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V, up to 100 kRad TID as well as up to 300 kRad TID in certain configurations.
  • Q-Tech has full radiation programs and libraries on all add-on components and products.
  • Q-Tech's successful Space Program is a direct result of an early company commitment to create a Program Management Office to effectively manage and direct the design, development, manufacturing and testing of the high reliability hybrid crystal oscillators produced by Q-Tech.
  • Q-Tech is qualified to MIL-PRF-55310/16 level "S."
  • Q-Tech has developed robust specifications for oscillators including the 0401-00298-0001, General Specification for Hybrid Crystal Oscillators, Class S

Now after more than 35 successful years in the Space hybrid oscillator business our customer base has grown to include the entire international space community. We are proud to be recognized as the supplier of choice for past, present and future space programs and appreciate these opportunities to serve our customers.

Q-Tech’s B+ product line is a series of space clocks in a small form factor, as small as 5 x 7 mm.

The B+ family offers many choices and options. This allows you to either order a full space version of the product, or else to order a class B version for quicker delivery and lower cost, with full knowledge that a path to full space part exists.

We employ an active die such as FACT 54ACT3301NSC and a proprietary 0.8µm
BiCMOS technology die for LVCMOS and LVDS logics. We offer a wide range of frequencies from 450kHz to 250MHz, of supply voltages and logics from 1.8Vdc to 5.0Vdc HCMOS, 5.0Vdc TTL, 2.5Vdc and 3.3Vdc LVDS. While we offer a range of optimizable configurations, we can also optimize your specific needs and requirements even further with a custom Q-tech MCM part number.
