416F260X3CDT

Crystals are a long-established and reliable tool for frequency generation, oscillator timing and control applications. They are electrically driven, thin pieces of vibrating quartz crystal. When a voltage is applied, the quartz crystal will vibrate at its natural resonant frequency. The 416F260X3CDT is a great example of a crystal application.

What is the 416F260X3CDT?

The 416F260X3CDT is a 22.570 MHz crystal from Murata Electronics\' 416 series of surface mount quartz crystals. This crystal is a compact option for applications that require an oscillator for timing applications and control. It has a frequency stability of 20ppm, a low frequency load capacitance of 8pF and a series resonance mode of 500ohm, with a maximum drive level of 200uW from 0 to 50 degrees C.

What Applications is the 416F260X3CDT Used for?

The 416F260X3CDT is commonly used in frequency generation, oscillator control and timing applications. This crystal is an excellent choice for these applications because of its compact size, high frequency stability, and low frequency load. It is also useful in clear communication systems, frequency synthesizers, medical imaging and other high-precision measurement and control systems.

What is the Working Principle of this Crystal?

The 416F260X3CDT is a quartz crystal, which means it is a naturally occurring material with a crystalline structure, composed mostly of silicon and oxygen atoms. When an electrical voltage is applied to the quartz crystal, the atoms within it vibrate and this vibration creates an oscillating electrical signal. This signal then oscillates at a very precise frequency, determined by the shape and size of the quartz crystal. This frequency is known as the crystal\'s resonant frequency and can be extremely precise, depending on the size and accuracy of the crystal.

Conclusion

The 416F260X3CDT crystal is a reliable and versatile tool for frequency generation and timing applications. This crystal has a frequency stability of 20ppm, a low frequency load capacitance of 8pF and a series resonance mode of 500ohm, making it a great choice for precision measurement and control. The working principle of the crystal is based on the vibrating quartz crystal, which creates an oscillating electrical signal at its resonant frequency. With its advantages, the 416F260X3CDT crystal is suitable for many applications.
