Crystal Oscillators

crystal oscillators A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a precise frequency.

Crystal oscillators are electronic devices that use the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal to generate a stable and precise frequency signal. These oscillators are widely used in electronic circuits as frequency references, providing accurate timing for various applications such as microcontrollers, microprocessors, communication equipment, and more. Crystal oscillators are preferred over other types of oscillators in many applications due to their high stability and reliability.

Clock Oscillators

Quartz crystal oscillators are comprised of a crystal unit and an inverting amplifier; and emit a stable frequency when subjected to a specific voltage. Quartz crystal oscillators are a simple means of providing the clock generators used for information processing in office automation and other electronic equipment.

Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators (TCXOs)

A temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) compensates the frequency-temperature characteristics of the crystal unit using a temperature compensation circuit to provide a highly stable output frequency. They are mainly used as reference signal sources in the radio frequency circuits of cellular phones.
