Working Principle

The AX7DAF2-420.0000T Oscillator works by using a voltage-controlled quartz crystal oscillator (VCXO). This is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) quartz crystal that is sensitive to the voltage applied to it. The crystal is subjected to a varying voltage, causing it to vibrate at a different frequency than its regular rate.

The vibrating crystal produces an output signal that is then amplified by a transimpedance amplifier and sent to a frequency-to-voltage converter. This converter takes the input signal and converts it into a voltage that can then be used to control the output frequency of the oscillator. This varying voltage is then applied to the quartz crystal, allowing for precise frequency control.

The oscillator has a wide frequency range and a low phase noise output, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Its high frequency stability and low power consumption make it a great choice for power-sensitive applications, while its tunability gives it enough flexibility for many purposes.
