ECS-120-10-36Q-DS-TR

Introduction

ECS-120-10-36Q-DS-TR stands for Electronic Crystal Semiconductor Standard-Grade 120 kHz 10 Frequency 36Q Dakin Standard-tol-RoHS. It is a quartz crystal primarily used as frequency references in phase lock loops (PLLs) or oscillator circuits. These crystals have a frequency tolerance of +/-20 ppm, aging of 3 ppm per year, and an operating temperature range of -10 °C to +70 °C.

Application Field

ECS-120-10-36Q-DS-TR crystals are widely employed in a variety of electronic circuits, in particular in frequency reference applications. These include use in oscillators, phase lock loops (PLLs), telecom and networking equipment, and many other analog and digital applications.

Working Principle of ECS-120-10-36Q-DS-TR Crystals

ECS-120-10-36Q-DS-TR crystals operate by changing their size and shape when a voltage is applied. This produces an oscillation frequency and when the voltage is reversed, the oscillation frequency reverses. This is the principle behind the operation of these devices.

When an electric field is applied to the crystal, it deforms and produces an acoustic vibration. This vibration is then converted into an electrical signal. This signal is what is used in various circuits as a frequency reference. The crystal\'s frequency is determined by its geometry and size and can be specified in Hz or kHz.

When used in oscillators and PLLs, the crystal is set to generate a specific frequency at its resonance frequency. A PLL may use two different crystals to generate clock signals, one for the high frequency and one for the low frequency clock.

Conclusion

ECS-120-10-36Q-DS-TR crystals are an important component in many electronic circuits. They can be used for frequency reference applications, oscillators, and PLLs. Their working principle relies on the deformation of the crystal due to an electric field, which produces an acoustic vibration that is then converted into an electrical signal.
