Crystals are a type of frequency device that is used in many electronic applications to provide a steady, accurate clock frequency and to generate accurate, high frequency timing signals. CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE is one such crystal, which is specifically designed for portable ultra-low power wireless applications that require high performance and low power consumption.

The CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE utilizes a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) inside of a ceramic package that is 4.5 x 3.5 mm in size. This crystal is designed to provide high temperature stability and low current consumption while maintaining low power consumption. It provides an output frequency range of 1.5 to 9 MHz, with a typical frequency accuracy of ±20 ppm over a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C.

The crystal features a small footprint, enabling its use in mobile, small form-factor portables as well as for system level timing and synchronization applications. Its design also incorporates components that maintain a high level of filtering to keep the crystal from being affected by external noise and to ensure optimum performance in a variety of temperature and wide input voltage ranges. The CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE also meets a variety of industry standards, including RoHS, Pb-Free, ESD, and AEC-Q100.

The CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE crystal has many applications, including in systems such as RF transceivers, cellular phones, and wireless LANs. Its miniature size and high frequency accuracy make it suitable for use in portable devices such as smart watches, handheld consoles, and personal medical electronics. Its low current consumption and temperature stability make it suitable for use in a wide range of communications systems, as well as in digital audio and video systems such as digital camcorders, digital projectors, and antennas.

The CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE is a temperature compensated crystal oscillator that works by using a quartz crystal to vibrate at a given frequency. The crystal is made up of two metal electrodes separated by a thin layer of quartz. The quartz has a natural frequency of vibration, determined by the size and shape of the crystal. When an electric charge is applied to the metal electrodes, the quartz begins to vibrate, oscillating between the two metal electrodes.

The electric charge used to drive the crystal is called the oscillator control voltage. This voltage applies a force which causes the quartz to start and keep vibrating. The frequency that the quartz vibrates is determined by the mass of the crystal and the stiffness of the quartz. The frequency at which the quartz vibrates is called the “resonant frequency” of the crystal.

The CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE uses a temperature compensated crystal oscillator to generate an output frequency. This oscillator works by using a crystal to create a steady, accurate clock frequency. The frequency of the output is determined by the oscillator control voltage, which is adjusted to match the temperature of the environment in which the crystal is being used. By doing this, it ensures that the output frequency is always accurate, regardless of the temperature in which it is operating.

The CA-301 12.0960M-C:PBFREE is a versatile crystal that is suitable for a wide range of applications that require high performance and low power consumption. With its small size, low current consumption, and high temperature stability, it is an ideal choice for portable applications such as smart watches, handheld consoles, and personal medical electronics. It is also suitable for use in communications systems, digital audio and video systems, and antennas.
