ABM10W-16.0000MHZ-7-D1X-T3 Crystals, Oscillators, Resonators

Crystals are widely used in many industries associated with a plethora of electronics every day and have been an integral part of our life since the early days of electronics. They are fundamental elements of countless devices, from everyday digital watches to complicated devices like communication systems and satellites. The ABM10W-16.0000MHZ-7-D1X-T3 crystal is one such example.

Application Field

This crystal is usually applied in local oscillator and clock oscillator circuits of various amplifiers and receivers. It is also frequently used in high frequency oscillator circuits such as components for mobile communication systems, such as GSM and PDAs, as well as optical communication transceivers.

Working Principle

This crystal works on a principle that can be explained fairly simply. It achieves its oscillatory resonance due to a quartz in a vacuum envelope. The quartz is cut in a specific structure so that when the proper electric field is applied to it a resonance will occur. This resonance is then used to put out a specific frequency, in this case 16.0000MHZ. Since this frequency is so precise, it can be used in all manner of modern electronics.

The device works in a fairly simple loop, the electric field induces a resonance in the quartz, and that resonance is detected by the electronic device. The device then increases the electrical frequency again to maintain the resonance and the process repeats itself. This frequency is used almost universally to maintain higher precision on the various devices using this crystal. There are various other applications of the ABM10W-16.0000MHZ-7-D1X-T3, but this is the main use.

Conclusion

The ABM10W-16.0000MHZ-7-D1X-T3 crystal is a widely used crystal that utilizes a precise oscillatory resonance achieved by a quartz in vacuum. It is used in many different types of high-frequency oscillator circuits found in communication systems and PDAs. This crystal can give precise results due to its bounded frequency, and is used almost universally to maintain higher precision in all sorts of modern electronics.
