416F260X2ATR

Crystals are solid matter with a regular arrangement of atoms and molecules which compose a three-dimensional lattice. The most common crystals are those made of metal oxides, such as silicon, gallium, and indium. In general, crystals have a piezoelectric effect, meaning that when a force is applied, a voltage is created across the crystal.

The 416F260X2ATR crystal is an oscillator made out of a metal oxide. This crystal uses a force-compensated (FC) quartz lamination technique, which consists of embedding the crystal quartz into a copper sleeve with a force compensation spring. This sleeve minimizes the effects of temperature and acceleration, ensuring that the crystal is as stable as possible.

The 416F260X2ATR crystal has a wide range of applications, particularly in the areas of telecommunications, navigation, radar, and high-speed switching. The crystal can be used as a clock source or an oscillator in any of these systems. It is also used in oscillators such as VCOs (Voltage-Controlled Oscillators) and PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops) that require an extremely stable frequency.

In terms of working principle, the crystal oscillator produces a periodic signal which is then amplified and converted into a digital signal. The crystal mechanics create a vibration which is proportional to the amount of voltage applied to the crystal. This vibration produces a signal which is amplified by the oscillator and then passed to the digital circuitry.

The 416F260X2ATR crystal is designed for high-precision applications and provides excellent frequency accuracy for stable and accurate operation. It is well suited for applications in the field of aerospace, defense, and medical electronics. The crystal is also known for its low phase noise, wide dynamic range, and high Q/low RMS jitter.

In summary, the 416F260X2ATR crystal is an oscillator made out of a metal oxide, which is used in many applications, including telecommunications, navigation, radar, and high-speed switching. It works by producing a periodic signal which is amplified and converted into a digital signal. The crystal is designed for high-precision applications and provides excellent frequency accuracy for stable and accurate operation.
