Microchip launches LX-820 oscillator for space use, balancing cost, performance, and supply speed.

Microchip Technology has introduced the LX-820, a radiation-tolerant quartz oscillator designed for Low Earth Orbit and other space applications. This new addition to its L-Series timing devices offers satellite developers a reliable, cost-effective alternative to traditional space-grade oscillators, with shorter lead times and strong radiation resistance. The LX-820 supports a wide temperature range and various output frequencies, helping reduce mission risk and supply chain challenges. It is now available for production orders, enhancing Microchip's portfolio for precision timing in space technology.

Microchip Technology holds a market cap of $41.89 billion and a dividend yield of 2.36% as of Oct 22, 2026, 19:12 WIB. The stock price on Pluang is USD 75.24, down 2.48% for the day, with a high volume of 9,561,042 shares traded. Despite the recent sell-heavy order activity, the company continues to expand its product lineup with innovations like the LX-820 oscillator for space applications.
