Crystals have a fascinating history, from their use in ancient times to their current applications in modern technology. The FPXLF120-20 is one such crystal, a miniature surface-mounted crystal designed for microprocessor and microcontroller applications. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principles of the FPXLF120-20 in detail.

Application Field of the FPXLF120-20

The FPXLF120-20 is an extremely small quartz crystal available in a 5 x 3.2 mm package size, making it well-suited to applications that require extremely small components. Despite its small size, it displays excellent performance characteristics. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Microprocessors
• Microcontrollers
• Source clocking
• Memory timing
• Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) designs
• Signal generators
• RF communications

The crystal is particularly well-suited to designs requiring low power consumption, as its low-voltage operation can reduce power consumption by up to 50%. The low current consumption also makes it well-suited to low-noise applications.

Working Principle of the FPXLF120-20

The FPXLF120-20 utilizes a miniature, surface-mounted quartz crystal that serves as the oscillator element. The quartz crystal works by vibrating at frequencies determined by its mass and size. When electricity is applied to the crystal, it generates an oscillating electric charge, which generates a sinusoidal AC signal that can be used to time circuits.

The size of the quartz crystal determines the frequency of the oscillation. Thus, the FPXLF120-20 operates at a frequency of 12MHz, which is suitable for many microprocessor and microcontroller applications. The crystal also has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and a drive level of 8 pF.

Conclusion

The FPXLF120-20 is a miniature, surface-mounted crystal designed for microprocessor and microcontroller applications. Its small size and excellent performance characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, source clocking, memory timing, FPGA designs, signal generators, and RF communications. The crystal works by vibrating at a frequency determined by its mass and size, which in the case of the FPXLF120-20 is 12MHz. It also has a wide operating temperature range and a low current consumption, making it ideal for low-power and low-noise applications.
