ECS-480-20-33-CKM-TR

Introduction to Crystals

Crystals are piezoelectric substances. They work on the principle of producing a charge when pressure is applied to them. The piezo effect occurs when the crystal\'s lattice structure is disturbed by an external applied mechanical force, such as an electric field or a pressure wave. This strain causes the material to produce a voltage as it attempts to return to its equilibrium lattice structure. The voltage and energy produced by the crystal depend on the material used and the type of force applied.Crystals are used in a wide variety of applications, including filters, switches, transducers, sensors, and oscillators. They are an essential element of electronic and communication systems, since they form the basis of signal analysis, frequency control, and electrical tuning. They are particularly useful for signal analyzing and transmission, for example in the audio industry, because of their excellent bandwidth and harmonic content.

ECS-480-20-33-CKM-TR Application Field and Working Principle

ECS-480-20-33-CKM-TR is a piezoelectric crystal resonator manufactured by Eastech Components Solutions. It is a 25.2MW 3.3V crystal which can operate up to 38.3 MHz with 83 % reduction in board height. This high-precision resonator is used in high-volume applications that require a reliable crystal-based frequency source. It is used in a wide range of fields, including Industrial Automation, Radio Frequency (RF) Equipment, Automotive, Medical and Wireless Communication.The ECS-480-20-33-CKM-TR crystal resonator works on the principle of leveraging the piezoelectric effect to create an electrical signal in response to an applied pressure. The crystal consists of a quartz plate with electrodes on both surfaces. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes, the quartz crystal expands, generating a mechanical pressure wave. This wave then propagates through the crystal, generating an electrical signal on the electrodes. This electrical signal is then converted into an audible sound wave by the resonator\'s sound chamber. The frequency of this sound wave is determined by the size and shape of the crystal. As the voltage is increased, the frequency of the sound wave also increases. The frequency of the sound wave can also be adjusted using the ECS-480-20-33-CKM-TR\'s built-in frequency trim pot.
