Working Principle of 520L05CA16M3680 Oscillator

The 520L05CA16M3680 oscillator is an LC type crystal oscillator and it works based on the electrical resonance principle. An LC circuit consists of two components: inductor and capacitor. The inductor is an electronic component that can store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The capacitor is an electronic component that can store energy in the form of an electric field. In an LC circuit, the inductor and the capacitor connect in a way that when the current through the circuit changes, electric energy is converted from one form to another and currents are formed in both of inductor and capacitor.

The 520L05CA16M3680 oscillator includes a quartz crystal and LC circuit components. When the current alternates between positive and negative, the quartz crystal starts to vibrate at a fixed frequency. The LC circuit stores the vibrating energy and releases it as a periodic current at a certain frequency. As a result, a fixed frequency signal with high stability is generated from the 520L05CA16M3680 oscillator.

Conclusion

To sum up, 520L05CA16M3680 is a quartz crystal oscillator with a fixed frequency of 16MHz. It can be widely used in applications needing precise frequency control, like telecommunication systems, radio systems and consumer electronics, etc. It works based on the electrical resonance principle, where a quartz crystal and a LC circuit are connected together and electrical energy is converted from one form to another. As a result, a fixed frequency signal with high stability is generated from the 520L05CA16M3680 oscillator.
