C3392-64.000

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces an output signal at a certain frequency in order to regulate a specific process or operation. This type of circuit is used in a wide range of applications, from keeping time in digital clocks to generating sinusoidal waveforms for radio transmission. The C3392-64.000 is a particular type of oscillator that offers a number of advantages over other types. This article will look at the C3392-64.000 application field and working principle.

Application field

The C3392-64.000 is a temperature-compensated quartz crystal oscillator (TCXO). These oscillators are best suited for use in mobile communication systems, such as cellular phones, Bluetooth, wireless LANs, and ultra-wideband systems. This is because of their low power consumption, wide frequency tuning range, and high stability over a wide temperature range. This means that the C3392-64.000 can be used in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications that require a reliable, low-power source of accurate timing.

Working Principle

The C3392-64.000 is based on a patented architecture that utilizes a quartz crystal and a temperature sensor to achieve a highly stable oscillation frequency that is unaffected by temperature changes. This means that the oscillator can operate in a range of temperatures, from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius, without sacrificing stability or accuracy. The quartz crystal acts as a resonator, vibrating at a specific frequency as determined by the C3392-64.000\'s internal components. This frequency is then used to generate either a sinusoidal or square waveform, depending on the application.

The C3392-64.000 is also equipped with an internal temperature sensor that is used to measure the environmental temperature. This data is then used to adjust the frequency of the oscillator so that it remains as stable and accurate as possible over a wide temperature range. The temperature sensor itself is extremely accurate, with a tolerance of just ±2°C, which ensures that the oscillator can stay within a tight frequency range.

Conclusion

The C3392-64.000 temperature-compensated quartz crystal oscillator is a perfect choice for applications that require precise timing accuracy and stability over a wide temperature range. This type of oscillator is extensively used in mobile communication systems, such as cellular phones and Bluetooth, as well as ultra-wideband systems. The combination of the quartz crystal and the temperature sensor ensures that the C3392-64.000 can maintain a highly stable oscillation frequency in a wide range of temperatures, with a tolerance of just ±2°C.
