It is also used in IGBT gate driver oscillator circuits and PWM controllers.

In terms of working principle, the CA-301 50.0167M-K: PB FREE crystal works by using the piezoelectric effect of the quartz crystal. The quartz crystal has a construction where a thin sheet of quartz is sandwiched between two metal plates. When a voltage is applied to the metal plates, it displaces the quartz such that it applies a mechanical stress to the quartz. This causes an electric current to flow through the quartz, and this oscillates the crystal at a frequency that is determined by its dimensions. This frequency can then be used in the device as an internal clock to drive the circuit’s operation.

The CA-301 50.0167M-K: PB FREE is able to provide reliable and consistent oscillation over an extended frequency range because it is designed with multi-layer construction. This means that it can be used in a wide range of devices and applications, providing the user with a reliable and versatile crystal.
