It has a frequency range of 8KHz to 25MHz and provides high frequency accuracy, low power consumption, and high temperature stability.

Application Field

416F40635ALT crystals are suitable for many applications, from clocks and watches to navigation systems. In addition to timing applications, such as timekeeping, radio clocks, and system time keeping, they can be used in frequency-hopping spread spectrum applications, including digital communication systems, automotive applications, and anti-theft devices. They also find applications in precision control systems, RF communication systems, and event control systems. Furthermore, they provide an excellent choice for a high startup frequency or a wide frequency tolerance.

Working Principle

The 416F40635ALT crystal oscillator operates on a tuning-fork principle. It is composed of two quartz forks vibrating against each other. These forks form a pair of electrodes and are precisely tuned to a specified frequency. The electrodes are connected in parallel to a metal ball inside the module, which acts as a resonator, and the electro-mechanical oscillator is completed. The internal ASIC IC is used for output buffering and temperature compensation, and provides a power-down mode for higher system efficiency.

The 416F40635ALT crystal oscillator is an attractive choice for frequency-hopping spread spectrum applications due to its wide frequency range, low power consumption, and excellent temperature stability. The oscillator has a variety of applications, from navigation and digital communication systems to automotive applications and anti-theft systems.
