Working Principle

The 550CD000230DGR oscillator works by converting an electrical signal into an oscillating frequency signal. This is achieved by using a quartz crystal or piezoelectric material, which is vibrated at its resonant frequency. The vibrating crystal is electrically coupled with an amplifier, which boosts the signal and provides a source of oscillating energy. The frequency of the oscillator is determined by an external voltage applied to the crystal, which changes the crystal\'s resonant frequency. As the temperature around the crystal changes, so does its resonant frequency. To compensate for this, the 550CD000230DGR oscillator is equipped with a temperature-compensated circuitry, to ensure that the oscillating frequency stays stable. In summary, the 550CD000230DGR oscillator is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) that offers a wide range of precise frequencies for radio communications, telecommunications, GPS navigation systems, and general electronics/computer circuits. Its high frequency stability and accuracy make it an ideal choice for these applications.
