Crystals

Crystals are materials that are made up of a regular and ordered pattern of atoms, ions, or molecules. These materials can be used to build a variety of electrical, optical, and microwave components, such as oscillator circuits, communication receivers, and high frequency filters. Crystals form the basis of many of the fundamental building blocks of modern technology.

416F360X3CST Application Field and Working Principle

The 416F360X3CST is a type of crystal oscillator that is used in industrial and consumer applications where high stability is required.

The 416F360X3CST crystal oscillator has a wide range of applications, including smartphones, tablet PCs, servers, routers, base stations, digital set top boxes, and embedded systems. It is also used in factory automation, automotive infotainment systems, and other industrial applications.

The working principle of the 416F360X3CST crystal oscillator can be divided into three components: an oscillator, a temperature-compensated voltage controlled oscillator (TCVCXO), and a frequency mode controller. The oscillator is powered by a constant voltage or current and it produces an oscillating signal at a specific frequency. The frequency is then tuned at the output of the TCVCXO through the use of a temperature-compensated crystal. The frequency mode controller is used to adjust the output frequency in response to changes in temperature and other environmental conditions.

The 416F360X3CST crystal oscillator is highly reliable and offers low power consumption while providing precise frequency control. It is capable of working in a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
