CB3-3I-14M7456

Oscillators are important components of many electronic circuits as they are used extensively as timing references, clock generators, signal sources, clock dividers, etc. A CB3-3I-14M7456 oscillator is a type of highly stable quartz crystal oscillator that provides accurate timing and frequency stability, with a wide range of available frequencies from 4 to 110 MHz and a range of output levels from 1 to 50 dBm. They are available in either a through-hole or surface mount package.

Application Field

The CB3-3I-14M7456 oscillator is most commonly used in various communication systems such as cellular phones, amateur radio, satellite communications, digital audio systems, and embedded instrumentation. It is also widely used in clock oscillator and voltage-controlled oscillator applications, frequency dividers/multipiers, frequency discriminators, and counter circuits.

Working Principle

The CB3-3I-14M7456 oscillator works on the same principle as other quartz crystal oscillators. A quartz crystal, which is a piezoelectric material, is placed between two electrodes. A small voltage is applied to the electrodes, and the quartz crystal produces a resonance at a natural frequency. The frequency of the resonance is determined by the size, shape, and thickness of the quartz crystal. The voltage applied to the electrodes can be adjusted to adjust the frequency of the resonance, allowing the oscillator to tune to an exact frequency.

The CB3-3I-14M7456 oscillator also utilizes a dual-impedance feedback network to improve the stability of the quartz crystal oscillator core. This network provides a low-pass filter to improve the noise performance and stability of the frequency output, allowing the oscillator to meet the most demanding requirements for accuracy and frequency stability.

The CB3-3I-14M7456 oscillator is an excellent choice for applications that require a high degree of accuracy, frequency stability and low noise. It also has excellent phase noise performance, making it suitable for a wide variety of frequency-sensitive applications.
