ECS-160-20-46X

Crystals have been used in various electronics applications, such as mobile phones, portable devices, and audio equipment, for decades. The ECS-160-20-46X crystal is one of the more popular varieties. It’s a small, low-power, temperature-controlled oscillator (TCXO) with a very stable frequency range of 0.5 to 4.0 MHz, making it ideal for a range of applications.

The ECS-160-20-46X is one of the smallest, yet most reliable crystal oscillators available. The device consists of a quartz crystal cut in the shape of an X, and a two-stage amplifier design, integrated on the same chip. This combination provides an extremely low-noise output. The crystal can be easily mounted onto a circuit board, and also allows for relatively easy frequency tuning.

The ECS-160-20-46X is specifically designed for use in industrial temperature and pressure monitoring systems, vehicle tracking devices, and other measurement systems that require high precision and low power. This crystal can also be used in applications that require a high degree of stability and accuracy, such as digital clocks and watches. Moreover, it is suitable for use in devices that operate with either 3.3 V or 5 V power supplies.

The ECS-160-20-46X works using the process of piezoelectricity. Piezoelectricity is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric potential in response to an applied mechanical force. The ECS-160-20-46X utilizes this effect to detect changes in the quartz crystal’s vibrational modes, which allows for precise frequency tuning.

The ECS-160-20-46X also has a high-performance linear voltage tuning capability that allows for variable acceleration, deceleration, or linear interpolation of the frequency over a wide range of load conditions. This is especially useful for applications that require variable instruction speeds, such as motor control systems.The ECS-160-20-46X also features an output noise floor of -80 dBm, an output power of 1.6 mW, and a small temperature stability of ±3 ℉, which gives the device excellent performance and accuracy even at relatively high temperature and pressure conditions.

In summary, the ECS-160-20-46X is a very reliable and precision device designed to provide high accuracy and stability in a variety of industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications. It utilizes piezoelectricity and linear voltage tuning technologies to ensure precise frequency adjustment, and also has an exceptionally low noise output.
