Application Field of CWX815-20.48M Oscillator

CWX815-20.48M oscillator is a cost-effective clock oscillator. It features tiny SMD packages, wide temperature ranges of -40℃～+85℃ and stability up to 100PPM. It is ideal for telecommunications equipments, medical equipments, industrial controls and many other electronics devices.

Working Principle of CWX815-20.48M Oscillator

The mechanism of a quartz crystal clock generator or oscillator is based on a "piezoelectric effect". Quartz crystal has the ability to change its size in response to the electric field applied to it. This property makes creating an oscillator with quartz crystal easy by the application of alternating electric energy. A quartz crystal is connected to an electric source. The electric energy is converted into a mechanical vibration of the crystal. As the crystal vibrates, it vibrates a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor will change as the air gap between the plates changes with vibration. This change in capacitance will generate a current through the capacitor, and this current output is fed back into the oscillator circuit.

Conclusion

CWX815-20.48M oscillator is an ideal solution for various electronic devices. It provides wide temperature ranges, stability and cost-effectiveness. Its working principle is based on the piezoelectric effect, which enables the crystal to vibrate when exposed to electric energy. This vibration is used to generate the oscillator signal.
