Crystals: 416F37425ASR Application Field and Working Principle

Crystals are important components in various electronic components and systems. A crystal is an frequency-dependent component that uses electromagnetic fields to oscillate at a predetermined frequency when electric current is passed through it. Frequency range, temperature stability, and current handling capabilities are some of the important characteristics of crystals.

The 416F37425ASR crystal formulated by Quartz Crystal Company is a miniature quartz crystal oscillator suited for high frequency high temperature applications. The device is suitable for crystal applications in frequencies up to 150MHz and operating temperature range from -40°C to +75°C. It has a low current consumption of 1.5mA and a low overall acceleration of 12ppm/g.

This crystal was designed primarily for use in cellular base transceiver systems, such as GSM, TDMA, and EDGE, that have stringent requirements on size, power consumption, and spectral purity. It has also been used in frequency control applications including synthesizers, clock signal rotator, clock modulation, and frequency synthesis. Aside from those mentioned, this crystal has also been utilized in modems, communication systems, LAN and WAN circuits, and various other electronic products.

Working Principle

The 416F37425ASR crystal oscillator have a working principle of a quartz crystal oscillator in SSi-SMD package. It consists of a quartz crystal disc cut at a 45° angle and two silver electrode shapes with a gold plating. The oscillator works by passing a low or high frequency AC signal between two electrodes on the crystal which vibrates the quartz crystal in the opposite direction creating the oscillating electrical signal. The quartz crystal vibrates or oscillates at a specific frequency, depending on the distance between the two electrodes, the size of the crystal and the type of material used in the crystal.

The frequency generated by the 416F37425ASR crystal oscillator can also be influenced by external factors such as temperature, pressure and humidity. This can be a very beneficial feature as it can be used to create more accurate and reliable frequency control. By careful selection of the quartz material, the engineers of Quartz Crystal Company were able to achieve an excellent spectral purity with extremely high accuracy and flexibility in quartz-based frequency control products.
