Working Principle

Crystal oscillators essentially contain a tiny piece of quartz crystal, along with a couple of capacitors and an oscillator circuit. The quartz crystal is cut in a very specific manner and lightly coated with a thin metallic layer to create a very precise resonator. When an electrical signal is applied to the crystal, it vibrates at a precise frequency. The oscillator circuit amplifies and filters this signal, and outputs a precise, stable frequency.

The frequency of the oscillator is determined by the physical size and shape of the quartz crystal. The 416F38013CKT crystal oscillator provides high frequency stability in a very wide temperature range. Its unique ESR value helps to minimize jitter due to the environment temperature change, reducing the need for calibration during operation. This makes it ideal for applications in high temperature environments.
