Working Principle

ECS-480-18-30B-AGN-TR is a miniature SMD crystal oscillator which operates on piezoelectric effect, in which a mechanical stress applied to a dielectric material creates an electric charge, while an electrical field created by two electrodes causes a stress in the material. This is the default way in which quartz crystals oscillate, and the frequency of this vibration is determined by the physical structure of the crystal such as its size and shape. The regularity of the frequency of quartz crystals makes them ideal for precise timing.

The ECS-480-18-30B-AGN-TR can work with a temperature range of -20°C to 85°C, and with an operating voltage of 2.5V with a frequency range from 10MHz to 32MHz. It also has excellent PSL and low jitter, with an average frequency stability of ±20ppm over the temperature range. These features make the ECS-480-18-30B-AGN-TR suitable for a range of applications, providing reliable performance and low-cost solution.
