Crystals: FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 Application Field and Working Principle

Crystals are versatile in their functionality for providing concise solutions for any frequency control and timing needs. The FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 is an example of one of these versatile crystals, which offers a suitable precision frequency solution for telecommunication and modems applications in minimal package size.
The FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 is based on quartz technology, with a fundamental AT-cut crystal design. The fundamental frequency of this crystal is 32.0000 MHz, with a temperature stability good to ±50 ppm (parts per million), and an allowance +/-100 ppm. This small package size crystal offers an operational temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius, so it is suitable for use in more hostile operating environments. The crystallized quartz material used gives this temperature range stability to the necessary tolerance. The overall size of this small crystal is a mere 2.0 mm by 1.2 mm, is easily soldered when needed, and can also be mounted onto a circuit board and put in a close or remote location.
The FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 works on the principle of a “piezoelectric” effect. This piezoelectric effect is caused by the quartz crystal when voltage is applied, which in turn causes the crystal to be mechanically stressed which produces an oscillation frequency. This frequency is then transferred to the output pins of the crystal. This phenomenon continues at the resonant frequency of the crystal, and is used to program processors, time measurement, and frequency control.
Another attribute of the FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 crystal is its low power consumption. Even within the most demanding applications such as those in the mobile communication market, the power consumption and static current of this crystal is supported at a low level of 0.5mA and 0.2mA respectively. This low power consumption provides a stable and precise frequency output, with a frequency tolerance of ±100 ppm. As such, this crystal is perfect to use in more restrictive power environment applications.
Finally, the FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 also provides a low aging rate, that is the frequency accuracy loss over time. With the aging rate of only 5ppm/year, this crystal ensures the long-term stability of the output frequency. This is essential for devices that operate over long periods, such as for industrial machines or for telecommunications devices.
In summary, the FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 is an ideal crystalline solution for any telecommunication or modems applications. Crystals such as this offer high precision, low power consumption and a small package size. With the high reliability and stable performance, the quartz crystal in the FA-365 32.0000MC-W3 is a great choice.
