Oscillators: AX7MBF1-644.53125T application field and working principle

An oscillator is a device designed to produce an electric signal of a specific frequency or cycling waveform. It usually consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and an amplifier. The AX7MBF1-644.53125T oscillator is an electronically-tuned oscillator (ETO) designed to offer reliable performance in demanding high temperature industrial applications, such as thermal testing, power supply regulation, radio modulation, and industrial motor control.

Application

The AX7MBF1-644.53125T oscillator is most suitable for operating in high heat and vibration environments, such as those found in thermal test ovens. It is designed to provide precise and stable frequency control in an industrial setting. This type of oscillator is especially useful in power supply regulation, radio modulation, and industrial motor control, as it can hold tight frequency accuracy despite mechanical shock and vibration present in those applications.

Working Principle

The AX7MBF-644.53125T oscillator is based on the use of an inherently stable, voltage controlled, resonant electrical circuit. This resonant circuit, which includes a mechanical tuned element such as a crystal to establish the oscillation frequency, creates a low-amplitude, oscillating waveform. This waveform can then be further amplified to generate an output signal. Other components, such as capacitors and resistors, may be included to improve performance. The frequency of the waveform produced by the oscillator is adjusted using an electronic voltage signal.

The AX7MBF1-644.53125T oscillator has a temperature-compensated crystal element that ensures precise frequency control even when the operating temperature changes. This makes it suitable for use in high temperature environments, such as thermal test ovens. The frequency of such an oscillator is adjustable to within 0.2% of its nominal value over a temperature range of 20-85°C.

Conclusion

The AX7MBF1-644.53125T oscillator is a highly reliable and accurate form of frequency control. It is particularly suitable for high temperature industrial applications, such as thermal testing, power supply regulation, radio modulation, and industrial motor control. This oscillator is based on a voltage controlled resonant circuit, with a temperature-compensated crystal element that ensures precise frequency control regardless of changes in temperature.
