Crystals

Crystals are one of the oldest known electronic components. They are small pieces of quartz or other materials that vibrate when electrically stimulated, producing a very exact frequency that can be used to generate an oscillating signal. Crystals are used to keep electronic and computer circuits in time, since the vibrations produced from a crystal transmitter can be used to create a stable and reliable electronic signal.

The ABM11W-38.8800MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 crystal is a common type of crystal used for timekeeping, frequency control, and other applications. It is a small and lightweight quartz-based oscillator crystal, with a low parasitic capacitance and low equivalent series resistance which gives it excellent frequency stability and accuracy. It also has a high-precision dielectric coating, making it suitable for use in high-speed oscillators and micro-controller circuits.

Application Field

Crystals such as the ABM11W-38.8800MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 are commonly used in computers, communication systems, and other electronics applications for frequency control. It is used for frequency-dependent circuits such as quartz oscillators and oscilloscope feedback circuits. It is also used in microcontroller applications where precision timing is required. It can be used in other applications such as frequency-hopping spread spectrum systems, digital radio transmitters, radio receivers, and radio transmitters.

The ABM11W-38.8800MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 crystal is also used in timekeeping applications. It is used to create extremely accurate timekeeping signals for use in clocks, watches, and other instruments where accuracy is essential. It is also used for frequency control in audio equipment, allowing musicians to stay in the same relative pitch during performances.

Working Principle

The ABM11W-38.8800MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 crystal consists of a quartz crystal, mounted between two electrical terminals. When powered, the crystal vibrates at a set frequency which is determined by its dimensions and the properties of the material it is made from. This vibrational frequency is then used to generate an oscillating signal which is then used for timekeeping and frequency control.

Crystals vibrate in a very exact and consistent way, and are used in many electronics applications where accuracy and precision of timing are required. Crystals are also highly temperature-stable, meaning they can perform consistently even when the environment they are in changes significantly. This makes crystals perfectly suited for applications where reliability and accuracy are paramount.
