Oscillators

The 579S320CAT oscillator is a type of crystal oscillator, which is also known as a quartz oscillator. It is a device that is used to generate a fixed frequency, which can be determined by the circuitry design, or by adjusting the cut of the quartz crystal. This type of oscillator can generate precise frequencies in the range of 10 kHz to 30 MHz.

The 579S320CAT oscillator is ideal for use in applications that require precise, stable frequencies. Such applications include, but are not limited to, telecommunications, phase-locked loop systems, digital information encoding and decoding, frequency division multiplexing, and waveform generation.

The working principle of the 579S320CAT oscillator is based on the piezoelectric effect. A piezoelectric crystal is a type of material that contains certain atomic dipoles which can be rearranged when subjected to pressure, or, conversely, when an external electric field is applied. This type of material also has the ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. When an alternating current is applied to the crystal, it creates mechanical vibrations in the material, which generate a frequency.

The 579S320CAT oscillator contains a quartz crystal that is cut in a certain way to generate a predetermined frequency. This crystal is connected to two external circuitry elements, known as the feedback resistor and capacitor. The resistor provides feedback to the crystal, allowing it to oscillate with predetermined frequency, while the capacitor helps to stabilise the frequency. It also helps to protect the crystal from any excessive current, and filters out any noise, allowing the oscillator to generate a clean output signal.

The 579S320CAT oscillator provides a high-precision, stable frequency output, and can be used in a wide range of applications. With its ability to generate precise and clean output signals, it can be used in applications such as radio transmitters, receivers, broadcast systems, alarm systems, and digital equipment.

In summary, the 579S320CAT oscillator is a type of quartz oscillator that is used to generate a fixed frequency in the range of 10 kHz to 30 MHz. It operates on the principle of piezoelectric effect and contains a quartz crystal connected to two external components, which ensure that the output frequency is precise and stable. This oscillator is ideal for use in applications that require precise and stable frequencies, such as radio systems, alarm systems, and digital equipment.
