Crystals are used in both analog and digital circuit designs, providing time or frequency references to clocks and oscillators, enabling them to have stable frequencies.

The ABM8W-16.6667MHz-7-B2U-T3 crystal is a quartz oscillating device with a frequency of 16.6667 MHz. It is a small, surface-mount quartz crystal used in oscillator circuit designs. The crystal is installed in a hermetically sealed ceramic package and is designed for harsh environments.

Application Field

The ABM8W 16.6667MHz crystal is primarily used in communication devices such as radio receivers and transmitters, mobile phones, modems, satellite navigation systems, and other applications that require a stable frequency reference. In addition, it is also used in the medical field for monitoring heart rate, and in the automotive sector for spark timing in engines. The crystal has a wide range of application fields due to its frequency stability and small size.

Working Principle

The ABM8W 16.6667MHz crystal is an oscillating device that produces an oscillation of 16.6667 MHz when an electric field is applied to it. When an AC voltage is applied across the terminals of the crystal, an alternating electric field is generated. This alternating electric field causes the quartz crystal to vibrate at its natural frequency, which is determined by the size, shape, and orientation of the electrodes on the crystal. The output of the oscillator is connected to the reference clock of the application, resulting in a stable frequency with minimal jitter and noise. The frequency of the output can be adjusted by varying the capacitance of the external components.

The ABM8W crystal is temperature compensated and hermetically sealed, providing a stable frequency even in harsh environments. This ensures reliability and a long lifetime for the device under heavy usage. The device is also easy to install and requires minimal external circuit components.
