Crystals

Crystals are highly efficient semiconductor components that are used in a variety of applications, such as telecommunications, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and medical instruments. They offer an array of advantages over other types of passive components, including low power consumption, high precision, and wide range of operation frequencies. The FC-135 32.7680KA-AJ is one such crystal that features a 6th Overtone Design and is optimized for 16 MHz operations.

Application Field

The FC-135 32.7680KA-AJ is primarily used in applications that require ultra-high frequency switching. It is well-suited for digital switching applications, such as cellular phones and radio transmitters. This crystal can also be used for the reference clock for microprocessor-based systems, and for timing applications in high-speed industrial controllers. Additionally, it can be used in oscillators for measuring instruments and other embedded systems.

Working Principle

Although there are several different types of crystals, they all operate on a similar principle. The mechanism behind crystal oscillation is the piezoelectric effect. When an alternating electric field is applied to a crystal, it produces vibrations at a frequency dependent upon the size and shape of the crystal. This phenomenon is used to oscillate the vibration of the crystal and thus facilitate the generation of the required frequency. The commonest type of quartz crystal used in such oscillators is the AT or AT-cut crystal, which is cut in a specific orientation with respect to the crystalline axes. The oscillation frequency of the crystal is determined by the crystal\'s thickness and its electric field, which can be regulated by adjusting the capacitance. The FC-135 32.7680KA-AJ uses an AT cut crystal to generate an oscillation frequency of 16 MHz.

Conclusion

The FC-135 32.7680KA-AJ is a high frequency crystal that is designed to operate at 16 MHz. This crystal utilizes the piezoelectric effect to generate oscillations and is mainly used for digital switching applications, such as cellular phones and radio transmitters. It can also be used for measuring instruments and in microprocessor-based systems. Crystals such as the FC-135 32.7680KA-AJ offer a high degree of precision and low power consumption relative to other semiconductor components, making them extremely useful in a wide range of applications.
