Crystals

Crystals are piezoelectric materials that can be cut in a specific way and formed in an oscillator circuit module, resulting in a resonator circuit that produces a clock frequency output. The most common type of crystal used nowadays is the quartz crystal, valued for its stability and accuracy, which account for its widespread use in modern consumer electronics and communications equipment.

Among crystals, the ABM8W-14.4000MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 is a Chinese quartz crystal tuning fork resonator that is commonly used for many consumer electronics and communications applications. This crystal resonator consists of two electroplated metal electrodes which are formed into the shape of an upstream and downstream fork, connected through a quartz crystal center or stem. The round and flat shapes of the fork allow it to vibrate at a specified frequency when an electrical current is applied, resulting in an accurate and stable clock frequency.

The ABM8W-14.4000MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 quartz crystal tuning fork resonator is used in a wide variety of consumer electronic and telecommunications products, such as cell phones, digital TVs, GPS receivers, audio players, game consoles, and much more. This crystal resonator is also used for communications equipment such as routers, switches, and base stations.

The ABM8W-14.4000MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 crystal resonator can also be used in industrial and medical applications. In industrial applications, crystal resonators are commonly used in servo systems to control motor movement, in robotics to control robotic manipulators, and in industrial electronics such as power supplies and reference oscillators. In medical applications, crystal resonators are used to control medical imaging systems, and to control the timing of medical devices such as pacemakers.

Working Principle

The ABM8W-14.4000MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 crystal resonator operates on the principle that when an electrical current passes through a quartz crystal, it will vibrate at its resonant frequency. The vibrating crystal creates an oscillating electrical signal which is used to drive the output frequency of the resonator. This frequency is stable and accurate, as it is determined by the physical characteristics of the quartz crystal.

The output frequency of the ABM8W-14.4000MHZ-7-K1Z-T3 crystal resonator can be adjusted by the addition of external capacitors and inductors to the oscillator circuit module. By varying the capacitance and inductance, the resonance of the crystal can be tuned to any desired frequency within its range. This mechanism allows the crystal resonator to be easily tuned to any frequency required by the application it is used in.
