Application Fields

416F360X2ILT crystal oscillators are most commonly used in communication systems, industrial automation, and audio-visual equipment where precise timing is required. The oscillators are highly reliable, making them well suited for often harsh industrial or automotive environments.

416F360X2ILT crystal oscillators have been widely used in broadcasting, telecommunication systems, network equipment and many other electronic products. Their low-cost, small size and excellent performance makes them a very attractive choice for many applications.

Working Principles

The 416F360X2ILT crystal oscillator operates by producing electrical signals at a specific frequency and amplitude. The oscillator utilizes the natural phenomenon of quartz crystals to produce and maintain a precise electrical signal at a set frequency. The crystal resonates when an alternating current passes through it and produces an electrical signal.

The frequency of the signal is determined by the physical properties of the quartz, such as the mass and size of the crystal. The frequency can be adjusted by changing the size of the crystal or the voltage of the current passing through it. This allows the crystal to be tuned to very precise frequencies.

The 416F360X2ILT crystal oscillator is typically composed of several components including an oscillator circuit, a crystal resonator and a carrier frequency generator. The oscillator circuit is responsible for providing the alternating current to the crystal. The crystal resonator then produces the electrical signals at a set frequency.

Finally, the carrier frequency generator is used to provide a stable frequency to the oscillator circuit. This gives the oscillator a precise and reliable frequency output. The combination of these components make up the complete 416F360X2ILT crystal oscillator.

Conclusion

The 416F360X2ILT crystal oscillator is a high quality, low cost oscillator well suited for applications requiring precise timing. It is commonly used in communication, industrial automation and audio-visual equipment. The oscillator operates by passing an alternating current through a crystal resonator that produces an electrical signal at a precise frequency.
