402F160XXCLT

The 402F160XXCLT is a CMOS Oscillator IC with an included quartz crystal resonator. The chip is designed primarily for providing a time base for microcomputer system units and for clock generation in radio frequency applications. This oscillator IC also has a frequency range of 16.00MHz to 80.00MHz resulting from the combination of the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal and frequency multiplication effect inside a PLL circuit.

Application Field of 402F160XXCLT

This oscillator IC is widely used for low-power clock generation, radio frequency communication, and automotive electronics applications. It is suitable for operations such as computer system units, peripheral equipments, car navigation systems, electronic toys, and digital cameras. Because of its low-power aspect, the oscillator is often used to reduce the overall power consumption of the device it is installed in.

Working Principle of 402F160XXCLT

The oscillator\'s working principle is based on the quartz crystal resonator inside its construction. The resonator is connected to two parallel oscillating circuits, the inverting and non-inverting terminals of an amplifier, one of which is connected vertically to the mid point on the oscillator. When the voltage is applied to the oscillator, its vibration causes a displacement of movable electrodes. This displacement generates an alternating current, producing an oscillation with an electromagnetic wave having a frequency that is equal to the frequency of the oscillator. This oscillation is then amplified and brought back to parallel oscillation circuits producing a continuous high frequency wave.

Conclusion

The 402F160XXCLT is a widely used oscillator IC for commercial, automotive and communication applications. The oscillator produces a high frequency wave based on its quartz crystal resonator technology and PLL circuit. The IC is suitable for low-power operations, thus contributing to the energy efficiency of the device in it is installed in.
