With state-of-the-art manufacturing locations in the USA and the Philippines, NEL Frequency Controls' manufacturing model provides the flexibility required to compete globally with its diverse product mix.

Frequency control solutions of higher complexity are manufactured at NEL's USA location, whereas higher volume, lower cost, less complex frequency control solutions are produced at NEL's Philippines location. Both manufacturing locations operate under the same TQM policy with common systems design, process, and testing to ensure complete product integrity. NEL is a ISO 9001-2008 certified company and has a strong industry reputation for high reliability with its products.

Lowest Phase Noise Crystal Oscillators NEL Frequency Controls can optimize crystal oscillator phase noise performance based on customer goals and requirements. Customers looking for a competitive advantage with their application’s phase noise performance will often choose NEL to help gain a performance advantage of -5 dBc/Hz to -10 dBc/Hz. Customers looking for low cost ways to upgrade existing designs and platforms turn to NEL for the flexibility of selecting varying levels of phase noise performance within a drop-in compatible package.

Problem Solving The crystal oscillator is often described as the heart of the system. Having an optimized frequency control solution for an application requires an understanding of the environment in which the crystal oscillator will be operating. NEL engineers are adept at providing robust solutions that factor in signal integrity issues, such as power supply noise, harmonics, shock and vibration, loading, temperature, and assembly conditions.

Excellent Quality, Reliability NEL’s Total Quality Management systems embed quality requirements in all processes. Statistical Process Control is used to validate quality at every step of production. Our standard practices include 100% testing. Testing is expanded with HALT/HASS procedures for mission critical applications. NEL provides extensive product characterization data to verify complete compliance with product specifications. Data on long term reliability is available for customer review. Product serialization for added traceability assurance is available upon request.

Just In Time, On Time NEL’s vertical integration allows for short lead times and just in time delivery. Provide NEL with your forecast, communicate upside demand requirements, and NEL will deliver just in time, on time.
