416F37023CLT

Crystals are an integral component in many diverse technologies. Crystals are used in oscillators – circuits that are used to generate signals of highly precise frequencies – to maintain timing in communication networks and for providing frequency tune to remote control systems. As such, a thorough understanding of crystal oscillator components, such as the 416F37023CLT, and their application fields and their working principles must be understood by professionals in the electronics field.

The 416F37023CLT comprises of a crystal and associated circuitry for providing a highly stable and precise frequency source for oscillator applications. The crystal is housed in a sealed unit with rigid pins for contact. The contact pins of the crystal ensure accurate connections between the crystal and the associated circuitry. The crystal is a temperature stable component, capable of performing operation consistently in a wide range of temperatures.

The 416F37023CLT operates in a range of frequency ranges, from 3 to 66MHz. The most commonly used frequency is 8MHz, which is commonly used for cellular phone-based applications. The crystal’s frequency stability is maintained by its high Q factor, which is a measure of its ability to store energy and convert it into electrical energy with minimal loss. With its low aging characteristics, the 416F37023CLT is typically used in high-stability applications such as GPS navigation systems, cameras and precision clocks.

In terms of its working principle, the 416F37023CLT features a resistive-capacitive (RC) circuit, where a small current is passed through the crystal to induce a vibration frequency. The vibration frequency, also known as the resonance frequency is amplified and directed through the oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit then applies transformers to regulate the exact frequency of the crystal, which is then used in a variety of applications.

The 416F37023CLT is highly reliable, with an operational voltage range from 3V up to 6V. The device is also capable of a higher sales volumes, due to its cost-effective production process. As such, the 416F37023CLT crystal is a suitable option for many applications in communications, industrial and consumer products.
