Working Principle

The 520T15HT16M3690 operates on the principle of reverse-biased junction diode-based oscillators. Its frequency varies depending on the bias voltage, with frequency increases as the voltage increases. The simple and robust structure of the 520T15HT16M3690 make it robust to meet frequency accuracy requirements.

The oscillator consists of a diode, a capacitor, and a resistor. When the oscillator is powered, the voltage across the resistor rises and the electric current flows through the capacitor to the diode. The current charges the capacitor and creates a magnetic field around it. When the magnetic field reaches its maximum strength, the current begins to decrease, and the diode reverses the current flow and discharges the capacitor. This process is repeated continuously until the oscillator is powered off.
