402F3201XIAT Application Field and Working Principle

The 402F3201XIAT high-reliability quartz crystal is a popular and widely used oscillator. This type of device is commonly used in a wide range of commercial and industrial electronics and timer applications wherein precision time measurement is a requirement.

The first use of a quartz crystal to control the frequency or timing of an electrical signal can be traced back to 1926 when Warren Raymond first utilized a quartz crystal to maintain the operation of a telephone radio. Quartz crystals are particularly helpful in keeping the timing of an oscillator circuit extremely precise. The success of quartz crystals being employed as oscillator devices lead to the further development of quartz crystal based oscillators that could be used in other devices such as clocks, watches, and computers.

Modern quartz oscillators are generally composed of four basic components: a quartz crystal, an amplifier, an electronic capacitive filter and a temperature compensator. The quartz crystal serves to precisely determine the desired operating frequency. A base common frequency is generated when the quartz crystal oscillates based on the quartz vibrational frequency when a voltage is applied to it. The amplifier then serves to amplify the oscillating output from the quartz crystal and boost the signal to the desired output. The electronic capacitive filter then serves to determine the desired output frequency. The temperature compensator controls the effect of temperature changes on the desired frequency.

402F3201XIAT high-reliability oscillators make use of the same principles as most other quartz crystal oscillators; the main differences being in terms of the specific frequency stability, dynamic performance and environmental sensitivity. The 402F3201XIAT oscillator is made up of a quartz crystal, an oscillator circuit and an environmental protection package. It allows the user to achieve up to +/- 10ppm frequency accuracy over a temperature range of -20 degrees to +85 degrees Celsius.

The 402F3201XIAT oscillator has a wide range of potential applications. It is ideal for use in electronic and digital systems where very precise timing and frequency control is required such as in computing systems, network receivers, clocks, automotive applications and avionics. It is also suitable for use in medical devices, measuring instruments, communications systems and industrial process control.

The 402F3201XIAT oscillator has a number of key features that make it a popular choice for timing and frequency control purposes. It offers ultra-low phase noise, low power consumption and very high frequency stability, amongst other features. Its superior reliability makes it ideal for use in mission-critical applications. All these features mean that the 402F3201XIAT is able to provide very precise timing and frequency control resulting in improved system performance.
