Working Principle

A crystal is an electronic component that works based on the piezoelectric effect. The piezoelectric effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electrical signal in response to mechanical stress. In a quartz crystal, the energy of the stress is converted into an alternating current that increases and decreases in amplitude.

This oscillating current is then amplified and used to control the frequency of the oscillator circuit. The frequency of this oscillation will depend on the cut of the quartz and the frequency of the driving voltage. The frequency of the oscillation will be constant if the circuit is stable and undisturbed.

For the ECS-200-20-23B-TR, the frequency of oscillation is 200MHz. This frequency can be used to generate stable signals for digital electronics, as well as for medical, communications, and military applications.
