FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W

Crystals are used in an array of applications, as they are components that allow the precise timing and control of both power and signals. One such component is the FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W crystal. This component is a highly reliable crystalline device used to measure frequency and time intervals, with the ability to respond to specific signals.

The FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W crystal is designed for precision-timing applications, such as frequency synthesizers and digital audio. It has a stable frequency over a wide temperature range, low frequency drift over temperature, and good phase-noise characteristics. Additionally, its exceptional resistance to environmental stresses makes it suitable for high-reliability applications such as aerospace, test and measurement, automotive, and medical equipment.

The FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W crystal features a medium frequency of 25.0000MHz, an ideal capacitance of 30.0pF, and a maximum drive level of 0.1mW. This device is available in two package types: SMD and radial. The SMD version measures 8mm x 8mm, while the radial package measures 7.4mm x 6.2mm. All versions are designed to meet JEDEC MO-261 and MIL-STD-202F standards for environmental and mechanical reliability.

The primary function of the FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W crystal is to act as a resonator. It consists of two metallic plates separated by a thin spacer, called a piezoelectric material. Applying an electrical pulse to the plates causes the spacer material to vibrate at the same frequency as the electrical pulse. The generated crystal oscillator then delivers the timing signals to an external device. This oscillator works in conjunction with a frequency-determining circuit to produce an accurate clock signal.

The output frequency of the FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W crystal is determined by its oscillator circuit. This circuit takes the input frequency and uses a variable capacitor to adjust the frequency of the output signal. The variable capacitor allows the oscillator to tune the frequency for precise operation. The oscillator must be tuned to the proper frequency by an external device, such as a microprocessor, to ensure accurate timing.

The FA-238 25.0000MA30X-W crystal is an essential timing component for many applications. Its stable frequency over a wide temperature range, low frequency drift over temperature, and good phase-noise characteristics make it suitable for precision-timing applications such as frequency synthesizers and digital audio. Its high reliability also makes it an ideal solution for critical applications in aerospace, test and measurement, automotive, and medical equipment, among many others.
