The working principle of a crystal is based on the piezoelectric effect. When an electrical field is applied to a quartz crystal, it will produce a mechanical vibration at a frequency determined by its dimensions and cut angle. This vibration is guided back and forth within the crystal, generating an oscillation at a specific frequency. This frequency is determined by the mass and shape of the quartz crystal, as well as its cut angle and the load capacitors connected to it. The load capacitors, typically between 5 and 15 pF, form a resonant circuit with the crystal to determine the operating frequency.

The frequency of the device is affected by the physical size and shape of the crystal, as well as temperature, pressure, and humidity. However, the 416F26013CTR is designed to remain relatively unaffected by environmental factors and maintain a high degree of accuracy. The device also features a low start-up current and a low jitter value, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring accurate timekeeping.

The 416F26013CTR is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise frequency control. With its high frequency accuracy and its low current requirements, the device is well suited for numerous automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
