AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2

Oscillators

Oscillators are electronic circuits which generate an electrical signal at regular intervals or frequencies. An example of an oscillator is the AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2. This stable, temperature-compensated clock oscillator has a 20 MHz frequency.

Application Field and Working Principle

The AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2 is primarily used in a wide range of specialised industrial and consumer electronics applications such as computers, digital cameras, and telecommunications systems. This oscillator is also suitable for communications, automotive, wireless, and audio applications.

The AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2 consists of a quartz crystal resonator that is connected to two amplifier stages to generate the oscillations. This oscillator uses a base metal electrode (BME) format, which provides better temperature stability than an ATE format. During operation, the crystal oscillator resonates at its natural frequency of 20 MHz. This signal is then amplified by the two amplifier stages into a square waveform. The output frequencies can be adjusted through the use of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), which can vary the amplitude of the frequency signal.

The AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2 has been designed to provide a highly reliable and frequency-stable clock signal. It has a very low power consumption and provides a high degree of accuracy and stability. In addition, it features a wide frequency range of 5 to 20 MHz, a low temperature coefficient, minimal phase jitter, excellent long-term stability, and superior aging characteristics. These features make the AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2 ideal for use in a wide range of electronic applications.

The AST3TQ-19.200MHZ-2 oscillator is reliable, easy to use, cost-effective, and highly efficient. It is a great solution for a variety of clock signal-related applications, and is an important part of modern electronics.
