Working Principle of ECX-L22CM-18.432 Oscillator

ECX-L22CM-18.432 oscillator works on the principle of resonance. It consists of two tuning elements: a resonant inductor and a metal foil capacitor. The inductor and capacitor are fabricated on a monolithic silicon chip and form an LC (inductance-capacitance) tank circuit. When a signal is applied to the resonant circuit, it will resonates with its environment, depending on the resonance frequency. This resonant frequency is determined by the inductance and capacitance value of the circuit elements.

In order to maintain a stable frequency, the inductor and capacitor values of the tank circuit must be carefully matched. If the inductance and capacitance values are not precisely matched, the resonance frequency of the circuit will vary, due to the difference in reactances of the circuit components. A low-noise, low-power, switched-capacitor IC is used to compensate for the differences in reactances and maintain a stable resonant frequency.

In addition to the tank circuit, the ECX-L22CM-18.432 oscillator includes a frequency-independent buffering amplifier, a feedback amplifier, and a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator ensures that the oscillator operates in a steady state, while the feedback amplifier controls the amplitude of the output signal. The frequency-independent buffering amplifier ensures high-frequency stability, while protecting the oscillator from high transient noise.
