Working Principle

The 8N3Q001KG-1153CDI8 works on the principle of a PLL (Phase Lock Loop) oscillator. This type of oscillator is used to generate a signal with a precisely defined frequency. It is based on a loop of three components: a programmable frequency divider, a phase detector and a voltage-controlled oscillator.

The programmable frequency divider divides the input signal into a signal with a much lower frequency. The phase detector compares the phase of the divided signal with the phase of the output signal, and sends a signal back to the voltage-controlled oscillator, to adjust its output frequency.

When the output of the voltage-controlled oscillator reaches the same frequency and phase as the divided input signal, the PLL oscillator is said to be in "lock." The oscillator stays in lock as long as the input frequency does not change significantly. The frequency and phase of the output signal will remain stable and accurate, even in the presence of noise from other electrical components.
