416F30035CTR Crystals

Crystals, in the form of quartz, are found all over the world in a variety of natural settings. They\'re often used for their ability to oscillate when stimulated by an electric field, and this is the basis of their use in the 416F30035CTR crystal. This crystal is a surface-mounted, voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) designed specifically for commercial and industrial applications. It is extremely low power, with a power consumption of less than 800mW, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +70°C.

Application Field

The 416F30035CTR crystal is ideal for applications where reliable and accurate Frequency Control is necessary for signal-carrying devices. This crystal works well in frequency converters, modems, signal generators, converters, amplifiers, detectors, and signal conditioners. It is also suitable for use in temperature- and environment-sensitive applications, as the low power consumption ensures stability over a wide range of operating conditions.

Working Principle

The 416F30035CTR crystal operates on a principle of negative resistance. This type of crystal uses an oscillator circuit that consists of two capacitors and two inductors, each tuned to a specific resonant frequency. These components oscillate in a LC (L - inductor; C - capacitor) electronic circuit and generate an electromagnetic field that vibrates at a specific frequency. The frequency of this vibration is determined by the combination of components used in the oscillator circuit, hence the need for an accurate tuning process.

An electric current passes through the crystal and an electric field is generated around it. The electric field interacts with the acoustic field generated by the crystal and produces alternating current, causing the crystal to vibrate. The frequency of this vibration is determined by the resonant frequency of the crystals, and is controlled precisely by the amount of current applied.

The frequency of vibration of the 416F30035CTR crystal can be manipulated by varying the voltage applied to the crystal. This allows for precise accuracy when setting the frequency of the crystal and is what makes it so ideal for frequency-dependent applications.
