Working Principle

The operating principle of the AX7HBF1-61.4400C oscillator is based on the use of a quartz crystal, which is encapsulated within the device and driven by the quartz oscillator electronics. Quartz crystals have the unique ability to act as an oscillator circuit, due to their unique piezoelectric properties. When a voltage is applied to the crystal, it will vibrate at a particular frequency. This makes it an ideal device to use as an oscillator, as it can produce a highly accurate periodic waveform.

The quartz crystal generates a sinusoidal signal at its resonant frequency, which is then amplified and fed back to the crystal to maintain oscillation. The necessary electronics, including amplifiers and filters, are all contained within the oscillator package. This is a closed-loop system, meaning that the output is continuously being monitored by the oscillator electronics and fed back into the quartz crystal to maintain oscillation.

The frequency of the output waveform can be adjusted by varying the capacitance of the embedded quartz crystal. This is achieved by adjusting the voltage applied across the crystal. This ensures that the oscillator can be tuned to generate the desired frequency if required.

Conclusion

The AX7HBF1-61.4400C oscillator is an accurate and reliable device suitable for use across a wide range of applications. It features excellent accuracy, low noise performance, low jitter and low power consumption, making it a versatile tool for many different electronic systems. The working principle of the device is based on the use of a quartz crystal, which is driven by the oscillator electronics in a closed-loop system.
