ECS-200-20-30B-TR Crystals, Oscillators, Resonators

Crystals

Crystals are used in electronic circuits for tasks such as frequency selection, timing, buffering, and signal smoothing. They are also used to generate high-frequency signals, enable frequency modulation and provide clock synchronization to an electronic system. The ECS-200-20-30B-TR is a crystal that is commonly used for these purposes.

ECS-200-20-30B-TR Application Field

ECS-200-20-30B-TR is mainly used in RF, microwave and millimeter wave applications, such as telecommunications, radio navigation, and satellite communication. This crystal also finds its use in some consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and television sets. Additionally, it is ideal for use in audio systems, where it provides a tuning reference for the audio synthesizer oscillator.

ECS-200-20-30B-TR Working Principle

This crystal structure is based on the piezoelectric effect, where an electric charge applied to the surface of a crystal generates a mechanical vibration, as well as vice versa. This phenomenon is exploited in the ECS-200-20-30B-TR crystal. When a voltage is applied to the crystal, a mechanical pressure is generated, thereby causing the crystal to vibrate.

The vibration of the crystal sets up a series of longitudinal mechanical waves that are reflected back and forth between the two conduction plates, known as the faces of the crystal. These mechanical waves begin to oscillate between the two faces of the crystal and generate electrical energy. This electrical energy has a fundamental frequency (for example, 8MHz for the ECS-200-20-30B-TR) determined by the physical characteristics of the crystal. In a manner of speaking, the crystal is like an oscillator, generating an electrical signal with an extremely stable frequency.

Conclusion

The ECS-200-20-30B-TR is a type of crystal commonly used in RF, microwave and millimeter wave applications. It was developed to provide high-frequency signal generation, frequency modulation and clock synchronization to an electronic system. This crystal is based on the piezoelectric effect, where an electric charge applied to the surface of a crystal generates a mechanical vibration, as well as vice versa. This principle is used to create an oscillator, which in turn generates an electrical signal with an extremely stable frequency.
