Crystals: 416F2601XALT Application Field and Working Principle

Crystals are the starting point of frequency control, and they play an important role in modern electronics and communications in their vast application field.The 416F2601XALT series crystal is no exception. This product, powered by Fox Electronics, is mainly used in telecommunications, computer, instrumentation and other equipment. It also serves as an effective measure to improve the performance of host systems.

Key Features

One of the main features of the 416F2601XALT series crystal is its small size, making it ideal for use in space-restricted host systems. This product is made from AT-cut quartz, and its fundamental wave oscillation frequency is 26.000MHz (an even multiple of 130Hz). It has a flat temperature stability range (-20℃ and +70 ℃). Moreover, it is easily attached to the PCB through surface mounting, and all of its external surfaces are covered with a protective epoxy. Additionally, it has superb anti-jamming performance and excellent high frequency characteristics that can reach +/- 0.3ppm frequency stability in a temperature range of 3.3V.

Working Principle

Much like other crystals, the 416F2601XALT operates mainly according to the piezoelectric effect principle. Generally, the quartz vibrates at a particular frequency when subjected to an applied voltage, and here the electric signal generated creates an alternating electric field between two capacitors. This alternating electric field causes the quartz to vibrate, resulting in the generation of an electric current having the same frequency as the voltage. This electric current then flows into the external load, providing power and producing the required frequency range.

Application Field

The 416F2601XALT series crystal has been widely adopted in communications, computers and instruments, providing stable and accurate frequency sources for the multiple systems of devices. In the field of telecommunications, the product is extensively used for the frequency-controlled transmission and reception of digital signals. In the field of computers, it is employed as a frequency generator, timing reference or clock generator in digital integrated circuits, memory and display devices. In the instrumentation field, it is also a well-known frequency/timing standard, providing reliable pulse outputs for counter operations.

Conclusion

The 416F2601XALT series crystal, due to its small size and excellent performance, is widely used in the communication, computer and instrumentation fields. It is an ideal solution for stable and accurate frequency generation in hosting systems.
