Crystals are essential components in many electronic systems. The ECS-196.6-18-4XEN is an advanced example of such a component. Its properties and applications can be used to enhance the performance of many electronic systems, for example medical imaging equipment and communication networks.

The ECS-196.6-18-4XEN crystal is a quarter-wave high-precision, high-stability narrow-band OCXO, i.e. oven-controlled crystal oscillator, providing stable frequency reference with a temperature coefficient of around 0.25 parts per million (ppm) over the -20°C to +100°C temperature range. With an ageing rate of less than 0.5 ppm/year and a typical ageing rate of 0.25 ppm/yeari, the crystal offers excellent frequency stability and accuracy over a long period of time.

In addition to its outstanding frequency stability, the ECS-196.6-18-4XEN also provides a super wide frequency range with an extended operational temperature band. The device can be used to generate a precision frequency from 18 to 76 MHz. It can operate from -40°C to +105°C and has a fast warm-up time of three minutes and good phase noise. These features make it suitable for many types of applications.

The ECS-196.6-18-4XEN crystal also features an extremely low power consumption, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium, as well as for battery-operated electronics. Its small size has also enabled the use of high-density packaging, allowing for greater integration of complex circuitry into tight areas.

When it comes to operating, the ECS-196.6-18-4XEN crystal outputs an extremely high quality frequency signal. This is achieved through its oscillator circuit, which is able to ensure excellent stability over a wide temperature range. The application of a temperature controlled oven has also made it possible to maintain a more consistent frequency as the crystal is surrounded by a heated enclosure that is kept at a constant temperature. The output frequency of the device also remains stable when power is lost and is quickly restored when power is applied again.

In terms of applications, the ECS-196.6-18-4XEN crystal is highly useful for a range of different tasks. It can be used to control oscillators that generate extremely precise references, for instance in medical imaging equipment and communication networks. It is also used in frequency synthesiser and phase-locked loops, as well as for frequency stabilising oscillators. In addition, the device can be used as a frequency reference to support telecommunication systems, GPS navigation systems, and satellite-based communication equipment.

In conclusion, the ECS-196.6-18-4XEN is an extremely advanced crystal, offering superb frequency stability and accuracy, as well as low power consumption and a wide range of operating temperatures. Its applications include frequency stabilisation, telecommunication systems, and medical imaging. The device is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-performance crystal oscillator.
