511FBA148M500AAG

Oscillators are electrical components designed to convert a direct current voltage into an alternating voltage of a certain predetermined frequency. The 511FBA148M500AAG is an example of an oscillator, which is an electronic device that produces periodic, oscillating electrical signals. This type of oscillator is predominantly used in the fields of test and measurement, power supply systems, industrial control systems, and communications.

This specific part is a quartz crystal oscillator with a frequency stability of 1.000 ppm. It is available in a low-profile standard 5.0 x 3.2 mm package, and is rated for a total output power of 4.6 dBm at an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The 511FBA148M500AAG is typically used in applications where maximum reliability is required, such as military and aerospace systems, as well as consumer electronics.

The working principle of the 511FBA148M500AAG oscillator is based on the physical properties of quartz crystals. When a quartz crystal is subject to an alternating electrical field, its molecules vibrate at a precise frequency. This frequency is determined by the molecular structure of the crystal, and is not affected by environmental factors such as temperature and pressure.

The 511FBA148M500AAG operates on a simple principle: a quartz crystal is connected to electrodes, which are supplied with an alternating current voltage. As the voltage oscillates, the crystal vibrates at the frequency of the applied voltage. The vibrations cause the crystal to generate a voltage, which is converted to a sinusoidal oscillation. This oscillation is then amplified by an external circuit and passed on to the connected device.

In conclusion, the 511FBA148M500AAG is a quartz crystal oscillator that is designed primarily for military and aerospace applications but is also used in consumer electronics. This type of oscillator works by generating an electrical signal from the vibration of a quartz crystal, and is known for its high reliability and stable output frequency.
