Crystals

Crystals are widely used in the world of electronics. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal.

What is ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal?

ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal is an ultra-miniature, low-frequency oscillator that provides excellent frequency stability and cost-effective performance.

Application Field of ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T

The ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal is widely used in the wireless communication field, including cell phones, tablets, wireless local area networks (WLANs), and wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Other application fields include automotive, GPS/navigation, medical, security/alarm systems, broadcast and other industrial and consumer electronics.(as explained By NIKO ELECTRONICS)

Working Principle of ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T

ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal is made up of several layers of alternating P and N-type materials. The N-type region (also known as the depletion region) has an intrinsic negative charge. The P-type region has an intrinsic positive charge, thus forming a potential barrier. When a bias voltage is applied across this junction (for example, during DC operation), current can start to flow and a capacitance is set up across the junction. This capacitance, combined with the other components within the crystal, forms an LC network.

When a voltage is applied to the ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal, an alternating input current of a specific frequency (resonant frequency) is generated. As the current alternates, it produces an alternating magnetic field which interacts with the inductance (L) and capacitance (C) of the LC circuit. As a result, a voltage is generated at the resonant frequency of the crystal, known as the oscillation frequency. This oscillation frequency is very accurate and stable, allowing the crystal to be used for applications requiring stable frequency.

Conclusion

The ABM3B-12.288MHZ-B2-T crystal is an ultra-miniature, low-frequency oscillator that provides excellent frequency stability and cost-effective performance. It is widely used in the field of wireless communication due to its stability and accuracy. The working principle of the crystal makes use of an alternating current to generate an alternating magnetic field and an oscillation frequency, which is extremely stable and accurate.
