ECS-200-20-18-TR

Crystals are solids composed of atoms arranged in an orderly, repeating pattern in three dimensions. They are widely used especially in the electronics industry as components for producing precise signals. One example of a crystal is the ECS-200-20-18-TR. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles of the ECS-200-20-18-TR.

The ECS-200-20-18-TR is an integrated clock oscillator, which provides precise timing signals for electronic devices. It utilizes a quartz crystal resonator, a highly precise quartz crystal, as its timing source. The crystal\'s resonance frequency is set to 20.000 MHz, giving it a narrow frequency stability range of less than +/-3ppm. The ECS-200-20-18-TR is designed to be highly stable, enduring temperatures as low as -40 °C and as high as 85 °C, making it well-suited for applications in a range of environments.

The ECS-200-20-18-TR is widely used in a variety of application fields. These include military and defense applications, portable radio equipment, navigation systems, medical, industrial, and environmental monitoring systems. Additionally, it is also used in automotive electronics and computing systems. With its accuracy and reliability in harsh environments, it is ideal for these types of applications.

The working principle of the ECS-200-20-18-TR is based on the piezoelectric effect, a property of certain crystals where they generate electricity when subjected to mechanical stress. In the ECS-200-20-18-TR, a quartz crystal is sandwiched between two electrodes, and when a voltage is applied to the electrodes, it causes the quartz crystal to vibrate at its natural frequency. This mechanical vibration creates an electrical signal, which is then used to produce a precise frequency output such as a clock signal. The output frequency can be precisely tuned by adjusting the crystal\'s design parameters.

In addition to its piezoelectric properties, the properties of the quartz crystal resonator also provide the ECS-200-20-18-TR with excellent temperature stability. The quartz crystal is highly sensitive to temperature variations, so it is necessary to mount it in a heated enclosure and provide a temperature compensation circuit to maintain its accuracy in extreme temperatures.

The ECS-200-20-18-TR is a highly reliable clock oscillator, suitable for both commercial and industrial applications. Its small size, low power consumption, and high reliability make it an excellent choice for reliable, precise timing signals in a wide range of environments.
