ASTMHTE-24.000MHZ-ZR-E

Oscillators

Oscillators are electronic components used to generate an AC signal. This signal is used for many purposes, such as providing a time reference in an electronic device, regulating the speed of a motor or regulating the voltage of an electronic circuit. Some oscillators, such as the ASTMHTE-24.000MHZ-ZR-E, are designed to be used in specific applications.

The ASTMHTE-24.000MHZ-ZR-E is a crystal oscillator that is capable of producing a stable AC signal at 24.000MHz. This type of oscillator is commonly used in micro-controllers, digital logic, transistors, logic drivers, and frequency-division multiplexing. The ASTMHTE-24.000MHZ-ZR-E also has other features, such as a low-power start-up circuit and a noise-reduction circuit to enhance signal integrity.

The working principle of an oscillator is based on the principles of electrical resonance. Electrical resonance occurs when an alternating electrical current is passed through a circuit. This causes the electrical current to oscillate at a specific frequency, called the resonant frequency. The frequency of the oscillations is determined by the components of the circuit and can be adjusted with the addition or subtraction of various components.

Oscillators use a quartz crystal as the primary component to achieve resonance. Quartz is a piezoelectric material, meaning it produces electricity when mechanical energy is applied. When oscillators apply a mechanical force to quartz, such as a voltage, a current, or a mechanical vibration, the quartz produces an alternating electrical current at a predetermined frequency. This current is then fed back through the circuit, creating a resonant frequency.

The ASTMHTE-24.000MHZ-ZR-E is a quartz crystal oscillator that contains many features that make it suitable for certain applications. It has a low-power start-up circuit and a noise-reduction circuit to reduce electromagnetic interference. The 24.000MHz resonant frequency is stable and precise, making it highly suitable for digital applications requiring high frequency accuracy.
