What Does TCXO Stand For?

TCXO stands for Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator

TCXO, or Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator, is a precision timing device that uses temperature compensation techniques to maintain frequency stability over a wide temperature range. Designed for applications requiring highly accurate and stable frequency output, TCXOs are commonly used in telecommunications, GPS, and consumer electronics where consistent performance is critical. By minimizing frequency drift due to temperature variations, TCXOs offer improved reliability and accuracy compared to standard crystal oscillators.
