406C35E08M00000 Application Field and Working Principle

406C35E08M00000 is a type of crystal resonator that belongs to the family of crystals, specifically in piezoelectricity. This type of crystal resonator functions by utilizing the electrical momentum of a piezoelectric crystal and vibrating it at different frequencies, thus producing an oscillating waveform which can be used for myriad of applications. Two main types of the crystal resonator are distinguished: Q-type, which yields very precise frequency stability; and A-type, which allows for improved heat resistances and higher equivalent series resistance.

Application Fields

Because of the precise frequency and amplitude control of the 406C35E08M00000 crystal resonator, it is often used in a multitude of applications. Of particular importance is the device’s role in radio communication technologies, where an oscillator circuit or a timer is necessary. 406C35E08M00000 crystal resonators are commonly used in frequency division multiplexers (FDM) telecommunications systems and clock drivers, as well as microprocessors, WiFi devices and wifi dongles, and can even be found in personal electronic devices, such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones.

Working Principle

At its core, the 406C35E08M00000 crystal resonator obtains its resonance due to the piezoelectric effect - when electrical charge or momentary current is applied to the crystal, mechanical pressure or strain is produced in the crystalline material, resulting in a specific resonance frequency. The crystal resonator works as a specialized filter, allowing only certain frequencies of an oscillator circuit to pass through it, while any other frequencies are blocked. This allows engineers to precisely tailor their oscillator frequency within specific constraints.

At the same time, the topology of the crystal oscillator circuit and the precise fabrication of the resonator crystal will play a huge role in the output stability of this type of resonator, as a slight changes in the environment may impair the oscillator’s ability to maintain frequency stability for extended periods of time. As this crystalline material is highly susceptible to temperature changes, the 406C35E08M00000 crystal resonator has been made to perform under more extreme temperature fluctuations and maintain better stability.
