Working Principle of the 579S250CAT Oscillator

The 579S250CAT Oscillator utilizes quartz crystal as the core of its operation. Quartz crystals have a unique characteristic among materials, in that the quartz vibrates differently when exposed to a alternating current, producing an output frequency. When the quartz crystal is made into a resonator, it will vibrate at a precise frequency, so long as the oscillator circuit is proven and undisturbed. This allows the 579S250CAT Oscillator to produce a near-exact output frequency, with very little variance.

Power Requirements for the 579S250CAT Oscillator

The 579S250CAT Oscillator requires very low power, and is available in a variety of output frequencies. For optimal power, the oscillator should be connected to a regulated power supply. A standard 5 to 15-volt supply should be adequate for most applications.

Conclusion

The 579S250CAT Oscillator is a versatile and reliable choice for any number of applications. It is a relatively lightweight and inexpensive oscillator, with a wide range of acceptable operating parameters. Also, its operation is highly dependable due to the quartz crystal at its core. As such, the 579S250CAT Oscillator is a superior choice for any application requiring highly precise output frequency.
