Enhancing Cyber Resilience with Real-Time Clock (RTC) Modules for Reliable Period Display
Real-Time Clock (RTC) modules play a critical role in supporting cybersecurity compliance under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Cybersecurity is necessary across various industries, as regulatory frameworks, such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), mandate secure lifecycle management for electronic devices, including the accurate display of support periods for software updates and security patches. In this regard, Real-Time Clock (RTC) modules play a critical role by providing tamper-resistant, accurate timekeeping and synchronization in electronic devices. A clear end-of-support notification must be provided to users, indicating when security updates will no longer be available. Advanced RTC solutions are designed to ensure reliable timekeeping, which helps prevent unauthorized manipulation of…

MICRO CRYSTAL’s New TM-2220-C7 Highly Stable Temperature Compensated Oscillator 32.768 kHz (TCXO) with integrated X-Tal and CMOS clock signal output
. TM-2220-C7 is a plug and play temperature compensated frequency reference for applications where reliable and accurate oscillator is needed without frequency jump. Combining minimal foot print (3.2 x 1.5 x 0.8 mm), only 4 connections and outstanding performances with 1.5 µA maximum current consumption associated to tight frequency stability of ± 5 ppm over full industrial temperature range, this factory calibrated device is embedded in a hermetically sealed compact reflow solderable DFN [1] package. This fully embedded device achieves significantly better stability performances then separate components on a PCBA. Moreover, it does not require any oscillator adjustment during OEM design phase, minimizing integration constraints thus lowering development cost and…
