As autonomous driving technology advances rapidly, LiDAR has become a core sensor for high-precision environmental perception. Whether navigating complex urban traffic or detecting long-distance objects on highways, LiDAR demands extreme accuracy and system stability.
In this context, automotive-grade crystal oscillators play a vital role. They provide highly stable and low-jitter frequency references for LiDAR systems, ensuring precise synchronization of signal acquisition, data processing, and communication.
Key Advantages of Automotive-Grade Oscillators
High Reliability: Compliant with AEC-Q200 automotive standards, resistant to vibration, shock, and wide-temperature environments.
High Precision: Temperature-compensated (TCXO) or oven-controlled (OCXO) solutions ensure stability within ±0.5ppm.
Low Jitter Performance: Supports high-resolution data processing in FPGAs and ADCs, improving LiDAR point cloud quality.
Longevity and Consistency: Guarantees stable performance over years of autonomous driving operation.
Application Value
In autonomous vehicles, automotive-grade oscillators ensure multi-channel synchronization of LiDAR, reducing path planning errors.
On highways, stable clock sources enhance the accuracy of long-range target detection.
In extreme weather conditions, automotive-grade oscillators maintain consistent performance, ensuring driving safety.
As autonomous driving moves toward mass production and large-scale deployment, automotive-grade crystal oscillators will remain a fundamental cornerstone of LiDAR systems.
