416F36013AAT

Crystals are crystalline materials that can generate electrical oscillations and have a wide variety of useful storage, transmission, and reception applications. The 416F36013AAT crystal is a type of oscillator commonly used for frequency control and switching in many electrical and electronic applications. The device consists of two parts: a piezoelectric crystal element and an external circuit.

Crystal Element

The 416F36013AAT crystal is a highly efficient crystal element having a nominal resonant frequency of 11.0592 MHz. It is a quartz crystal and contains a conductive silver ball between its two plates that are connected to the electrodes. The crystal is mounted in a ceramic envelope and served as an oscillator. Its main purpose is to generate an oscillation of 11.0592 MHz frequency when the crystal is subjected to electric current.

External Circuit

The external circuit includes a resonance circuit and an amplifier. The resonance circuit utilises inductors and capacitors to filter out any undesired frequencies and restrict the oscillation to the desired frequency of 11.0592 MHz. The amplifier amplifies the oscillation to the required or desired level. This circuit is typically connected to the crystal element via a set of leads and allows the crystal to oscillate and generate a signal.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 416F36013AAT crystal oscillator is used in many electrical and electronic applications such as radio receivers and transmitters, mobile phones and radars. The device is also used for frequency control and switching, time-keeping in computers and other electronic equipment. It can also be used in deflection circuits, amplifiers and various switching applications. The working principle of the 416F36013AAT crystal oscillator is based on the Piezoelectric Effect. When electric current is applied to the crystal, it vibrates and produces a specific frequency which is output from the external circuit. The device is capable of generating an output frequency within a wide range of 10 – 40 MHz.
