Crystals

Crystals are manufactured from individually-cut quartz crystals to produce components which can produce a wide range of frequencies that are delivered at extremely accurate levels. Commonly used for timing, oscillators, and filters, crystals are essential components in many applications, such as cell phones, watches, computers and electrical measuring devices.

One type of crystal, the 7M-13.560MAHL-T, is a dual-in-line piezoelectric oscillator with a frequency range of 13.560MHz and supporting 5V power supply and a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It is mainly used in digital and analog applications such as timing, frequency control, and signal creation.

Application field

The 7M-13.560MAHL-T crystal is mainly used in circuits in which a steady and reliable natural frequency is needed. Generally, it is found in radio frequency communication systems and AV systems, such as radio, television, satellite communications and wireless systems. It is also used in static and dynamic frequency control and periodic time base circuit, such as mobile phones, watch, computers and other electronics. It is even used in unmanned flight control systems and navigation systems in aerospace technology.

Working Principle

The natural frequency of the 7M-13.560MAHL-T crystal oscillator is determined by the physical configuration of the crystal itself. The quartz crystal is cut so that it has two opposing curves which form the two poles of an electrical capacitor. This capacitor is attached to two inductors and connected to a DC voltage source. When a voltage is applied, it will cause the crystal to oscillate at its natural frequency. This frequency is determined by the mass of the crystal and the stiffness of the springs connecting the two inductors together. The 7M-13.560MAHL-T crystal oscillator has a frequency of 13.560MHz, which is determined by its tuning parameters.

The 7M-13.560MAHL-T crystal oscillator is a highly stable source of frequency and can produce signals with a very small frequency drift, or change in frequency over time. This is due to the low temperature coefficient of the quartz crystal, which means its frequency remains fairly constant regardless of temperature changes or other external factors. As such, it is an ideal choice for accuracy-critical applications, such as in frequency control or timing.
