Crystals have been integral parts of many electronic applications, from tuning into the correct radio station to allow timekeeping in the world’s most precise clocks. Though these applications have different requirements and uses, the same element can often be used in a variety of tasks. The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal is an example of a versatile device that can be used in a number of applications.

Overview

The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal is a precision quartz crystal typically used in a variety of frequency control applications. This particular crystal has an ultra-stable, zero-temperature-coefficient oscillator frequency of 18 MHz with a pullability of 30 PPM/V. The package features an industry-standard RoHS compliant DIP-14 form factor.

These devices are manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure that the oscillator frequency remains constant even in extreme temperature variations. This makes the ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS an ideal choice for use in critical frequency applications.

Applications

The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal has a number of possible applications, depending on the particular requirements of the end-use project. These crystals are often used as the oscillator in radio receivers and transmitters due to their frequency stability. Their inherent temperature limitations make them suitable for use in clocks, precision medical instruments, and telecommunications equipment as well.

The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS is an excellent choice for GPS systems, cellular base station transceivers, and wireless LAN devices because it is designed to operate over a wider temperature range than other available oscillators. This ensures that the frequency remains constant and accurate regardless of the ambient temperature.

These devices are also ideal for test instruments, such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and signal-level meter devices. The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS can be used to control both the signal frequency and signal amplitude of such instruments.

Working Principle

The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal operates based on the principles of piezoelectricity. In a quartz crystal, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy (vibrations) and vice versa. When a voltage is applied to the crystals, it causes the crystal to vibrate at a specific frequency, determined by its size, shape and the material it is made from.

The rate of vibration is proportional to the voltage applied. Therefore, by increasing the voltage, the rate of vibration can be increased, thus increasing the frequency. Conversely, by decreasing the voltage, the rate of vibration can be reduced, thus decreasing the frequency.

As the frequency of the crystal is determined by the size, shape and material of the crystal, the ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal can be used to produce a very precise and stable frequency. Additionally, the crystal can be designed to adjust to changes in temperature, further enhancing its stability and accuracy.

Conclusion

The ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal provides an accurate, stable and versatile frequency control solution for a wide range of applications. The crystal is easy to use and can be customised to meet the specific requirements of any given project. With its wide range of possible applications and its ability to operate over a wide temperature range, the ECS-120-18-30BQ-DS crystal is an ideal choice for frequency control in a variety of situations.
