Oscillators

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repetitive electrical signal, usually in the form of a sine wave or a square wave. Oscillators are widely used for providing stability and controlling repetitive operation in circuits such as timers, amplifiers and frequency synthesizers. The 520T05CA38M4000 is an example of an oscillator that is widely used for its reliability and performance.

The 520T05CA38M4000 is a low-cost, precision, low-power, four-terminal ceramic crystal oscillator. This oscillator is used for providing frequency stabilization and generating a reliable timebase. It provides excellent short-term stability and low jitter, while consuming minimal power. It is widely used in communications equipment, embedded systems, and other applications where low-cost frequency or timing signals are necessary.

The 520T05CA38M4000 is a fundamental oscillator that uses a quartz crystal as its frequency-determining element. This crystal is sandwiched between two electrodes and connected between the oscillator circuit’s positive and negative terminals. When voltage is applied to an electrode the crystal vibrates at its resonant frequency, thus producing an oscillation. The frequency of the oscillation is determined by the mechanical characteristics of the crystal. These crystals are precision-vibrators that can generate accurate frequencies over a wide range of environmental conditions.

The 520T05CA38M4000 has a frequency of 40.0 MHz, with an output pulse width of 5V, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is available in a 4-pin ceramic package for easy mounting and provides excellent frequency stability over temperature and time.

The 520T05CA38M4000 is widely used in applications such as cellular base stations, wireless local area networks (WLANs), broadcast receivers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and portable digital media players. It is also used in laboratory testing, military applications, and other critical frequency control applications. This oscillator is cost-effective, accurate, and reliable, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise timing and/or frequency control.
