Oscillators

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repeated series of electrical pulses. Oscillators are used in a wide range of applications such as radios, computers, and medical equipment.

DSC6003JI2A-016.0000 application field and working principle

The DSC6003JI2A-016.0000 is a tuned resonant oscillator with a nominal frequency of 16 MHz. It is commonly used for generating a local clock signal for microcontrollers, as it can provide stable, precise timing signals. The oscillator is also used in industrial automation, robotics and other suitable applications.

The oscillator is based on a ceramic resonator. It consists of a quartz crystal sandwiched between two plates of ceramic. When the crystal is energized, it vibrates at its resonant frequency, generating a periodic signal. The output of the oscillator is shaped by the components to be a square wave signal.

The frequency is determined by the configuration of the ceramic plates and the thickness of the quartz crystal. This ensures that the frequency is highly stable and can be accurate to ±10 ppm when using temperature-compensated components.

The oscillator also features high immunity from shock and vibration, as well as low power consumption which ensures longer battery life for portable devices. It is also available in a range of package sizes to fit the needs of different applications.

The DSC6003JI2A-016.0000 is a reliable, cost-effective solution for generating a reliable clock signal. It can be used in a wide variety of applications where high stability and accuracy are required.
