Crystals - 416F38433IKT Application Field and Working Principle

Crystals are a composite component of virtually all electronics, providing the stable base frequencies required for reliable signal transmission and timing. Of the many different crystal types available, one of the most popular is the 416F38433IKT crystal from maker KYOCERA. This crystal has broad application in a range of fields and its principles of operation are relatively straightforward.

Application Fields

The 416F38433IKT is capable of operating with currents from 1.2mA to 2.0mA and frequencies from 16MHz to 65MHz. This makes it useful in a wide range of electronic products, from computers and handsets to audio and medical equipment. It is particularly suitable for products requiring good phase noise combined with moderate levels of power consumption. As well as miniature SMD packages, the crystal is available in wire-bondable configurations.

Working Principle

The 416F38433IKT crystal is a quartz crystal whereby mechanical vibrations are produced by the quartz crystal when a voltage is applied. In other words, when receiving an electrical signal, the crystal will vibrate at the same frequency as the input signal. This vibration is then sent across to an oscillator circuit, from which it is converted back into an electrical signal with the exact same frequency. This creates an accurate and consistent signal with low noise levels, making it ideal for frequency synthesis and timing applications.

Conclusion

The 416F38433IKT crystal from KYOCERA is a powerful and reliable frequency generation solution, suitable for use in a wide range of electronic products. Its simple working principle and solid performance mean that it is a strong contender for use in demanding applications where accuracy and power efficiency are of the utmost importance.
