416F36011AKT Application Field and Working Principle

Crystals, in the broadest sense of the word, are a solid material composed of many atoms and molecules arranged in an orderly and repetitive pattern known as a crystal lattice. In electronics and computer engineering, crystals are a specialized type of oscillator whose atomic structure is uniquely designed for precise timekeeping. Here, we\'ll look at the 416F36011AKT crystal unit and discuss its application field, as well as its working principle and characteristics.

Application Field

Crystals such as the 416F36011AKT are primarily used in electronic and electrical applications. The 416F36011AKT crystal unit is designed for use in oscillators, such as systems that rely on real-time clocks (RTCs). Additionally, the 416F36011AKT crystal is frequently used in crystal clocks, precision time measurement and frequency control for embedded systems, and applications that require accurate timing.

Working Principle

The 416F36011AKT is an athermal tuning oscillator. As its name suggests, this type of crystal works by selectively varying its oscillation frequency in response to changes in the surrounding environment. The crystal is built with a temperature-sensitive material along with electrodes and is surrounded by a vacuum-sealed casing. When a voltage source is connected to the electrodes, an oscillation occurs and is sustained until the voltage is removed.

The oscillation frequency of the 416F36011AKT is uniquely determined by the crystal\'s atomic structure. The sharp edges and uniform arrangement of atoms along the crystal\'s lattice create a tiny dipole moment when a voltage is applied. This dipole moment produces a resonance frequency that is used to control the oscillator. The 416F36011AKT crystal is designed to maintain its resonance frequency in the presence of changing temperature or other environmental factors.

Characteristics

The 416F36011AKT crystal unit has several notable characteristics. It has a frequency range of 32 kHz to 37 kHz, a stated frequency tolerance of ±3.0 ppm, a maximum drive level of 20 µW, and a total shunt capacitance of 21 pF. Other key characteristics include a frequency stability of ±1.0 ppm/ ℃ over a temperature range of -40 ℃ to +85 ℃, a frequency aging rate of ±0.02 ppm/year at 25 ℃, and a soldering temperature of 260 ℃.
