Additionally, the oscillator has excellent thermal stability and is RoHS compliant.

Working Principle

The 554AM000130DG is a crystal oscillator, which means it uses the resonance of a quartz crystal to produce a clean and accurate output clock signal. The oscillator works by energizing the quartz crystal, which then “rings” at a frequency determined by its construction. The RC network associated with the quartz crystal is designed to ensure that the frequency is stable, and that the output remains at an acceptable level. This is further enhanced by the use of a temperature compensation circuit, which helps to even out temperature changes and reduce drift. The output of the oscillator is then connected to the logic pins of the device, which can then be used to drive the logic circuitry in the system.

Conclusion

The 554AM000130DG is a pin configurable/selectable oscillator designed to provide a clean and reliable clock frequency in the range of 2 to 156 MHz. The oscillator is available in die form and is RoHS compliant, and its low current consumption makes it ideal for use in battery-operated systems. Additionally, its excellent thermal stability and wide frequency range make it a good choice for use in a variety of systems, including personal computers, microprocessors, digital signal processors, modems, communications equipment, and networking devices.
