ECS-61-32-18-TR application field and working principle

ECS-61-32-18-TR is a low power quartz crystal oscillator with supply voltage at 3.3V and frequency at 32MHz. This oscillator is ideally suited for embedded applications such as sensor based systems covering the frequency range from 1MHz to 32MHz. The oscillator offers very reliable operation at a low power level, thus making it an ideal choice for battery operated or low power embedded systems.

The oscillator consists of a piezoelectric quartz crystal, an excitation circuit and a drive circuit. The quartz crystal is made up of tuned quartz with a configured electrode on the front and back faces. The frequency of the crystal is determined by its cut angle, thickness and size. The excitation circuit then determines the frequency of oscillation with a defined output voltage. Finally, the drive circuit provides further assurance of the output signal strength by amplifying the output voltage across the quartz crystal.

The functionality of the oscillator can be described in three stages. Firstly, the crystal is excited by an electrical current applied to the electrodes, which causes the crystal to vibrate at its natural frequency. Secondly, this vibrational energy is detected by the excitation circuit and an output voltage across the crystal is generated. Finally, this output voltage is amplified by the drive circuit which creates a high-frequency current. This current is then used to provide a clock signal to the device.

As the frequency of the oscillator is determined by the electrical properties of the quartz crystal and the output voltage is controlled by the design of the excitation and drive circuits, high accuracy and low power can be obtained. Additionally, due to the low power requirements of the oscillator, it is often used in battery powered and hand held applications to reduce the power consumption of the device.

In summary, the ECS-61-32-18-TR quartz crystal oscillator is an ideal choice for embedded applications due to its low power requirements, reliability and accuracy. Its excitation and drive circuits ensure a strong and reliable output voltage while the quartz crystal provides a high degree of accuracy. This combination of features makes the ECS-61-32-18-TR oscillator an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
