    Timing Devices (Crystal Unit / Ceramic Resonator)Crystal Units for Smart Meters

    Smart Meter Block Diagram

    "Ceramic resonators" are used in the displays, ultrasonic flowmeter sensors, and microcomputers equipped in various smart meters (power, gas, heat, waterworks) while crystal units are used in the ICs for wired and wireless communication, and "piezoelectric sounders" are used for data reading check sound devices.

    This section introduces "crystal units."

    Smart Meter Requirements

    Downsizing

    • Smaller size and lower weight than conventional analog meters
      Conventional analog meters are simply a metering unit. However, smart meters also require additional functions including wired/wireless communication units and load switching units. It is possible to add functions by downsizing the module design.

    Stable communication quality

    • Excellent connectivity with devices in the home
      It is possible to monitor the amount of power used in real time by linking HEMS and wired/wireless systems, which can enhance the power-saving effect.

    High reliability

    • Excellent weather resistance accompanying outdoor use
    • Long device life
      A service life of approximately 10 years is required in the same way as with analog meters.
