Oscillators: 591MB311M040DGR

Oscillators are electronic circuit that generate and sustain periodic electric signals, like sawtooth, triangle and sine waves. 591MB311M040DGR is one of the commonly used quartz crystal oscillator approved for military use. It can achieve outstanding accuracy due to its network of miniature capacitors connected inside the oscillator. It is primarily used as the standard for frequency control and precision timing applications.

Application field and Working principle

591MB311M040DGR is appropriate for military equipment, precision equipment and other critical applications. It can be used for radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, medical imaging machinery, object tracking systems, military vehicles and radar systems. It is used in these applications because of its outstanding accuracy and stability. Oscillators are also strongly recommended for application like satellite communication, Wi-Fi, GPS, wireless monitoring, navigation systems, and satellite positioning systems.

The working principle of 591MB311M040DGR is based on the same fundamentals as other oscillators. A quartz crystal is held between two metal plates which act as a capacitor, along with additional capacitors on the circuit board that enable the oscillator to gain the required frequency of the signal. The crystal is made of quartz which has an intrinsic piezoelectric property. When voltage is applied to it, the crystal vibrates and produces a precise frequency determined by its physical characteristics. The signal then passes through the transistors in the oscillator to produce the output frequency. The combination of the crystal size, the surrounding capacitors, and the transistors, are all part of the oscillator circuitry, which generates the desired frequency.

In order to maintain the precision frequency output, the 591MB311M040DGR is temperature compensated. This means the frequency output compensates for minor changes in temperature by adjusting the capacitor values that determines the circuit’s frequency. This ensures the oscillator remains accurate, even in extreme temperature environments.

In conclusion, 591MB311M040DGR is an industry-leading quartz crystal oscillator typically used for high-accuracy, precision timing applications. Its temperature-compensated quartz crystal enables the oscillator to operate accurately in extreme temperatures, while its reliable design is approved for military use.
