GL040F33IDT

Crystals are like mini power plants that drive many of the electronic devices we use every day. The GL040F33IDT crystal is a moncrystal oscillator used to generate high-precision and high-stability of signals for time and frequency electronic systems. It is used primarily for precision timekeeping applications like synchronizing data, clocks and telecommunications systems.

GL040F33IDT crystal is an efficient and low-cost crystal oscillator manufactured by Rakon. This crystal oscillator features small size, high reliability, low phase noise, low jitter and excellent temperature stability. It is designed to work in a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C. The GL040F33IDT is a quartz oscillator and is available in multiple packages, including 5 mm x 3.2 mm ceramic packages.

The working principle of GL040F33IDT crystal oscillator is based on the piezoelectric effect. In this process, a voltage is applied across a flat piece of quartz crystal, causing it to change shape in size. This results in a mechanical vibration, which is converted into electrical signals. The piezoelectric effect produces an AC voltage across the crystal, which is then amplified and converted into an output frequency. The frequency of the output signal depends on the size and shape of the quartz, as well as the applied voltage.

Since it is used for the production of high-precision signals, the frequency stability of the GL040F33IDT crystal oscillator is of paramount importance. Specifically, the frequency stability determines how accurately the frequency is maintained over different temperature, supply voltage, and load conditions. The frequency stability of the GL040F33IDT crystal oscillator is rated at +/- 5 ppm (-40°C to +85°C).

The GL040F33IDT crystal oscillator is most commonly used in timekeeping applications, such as watches, clocks, and precision timekeeping systems. It is also used in digital consumer applications, such as digital TVs, set-top boxes, and consumer mobile phones. Additionally, it is frequently used in medical instrumentation and radar systems. Finally, it is also found in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) applications, providing timing signals for GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo-enabled devices.

In summary, the GL040F33IDT crystal oscillator is a quartz crystal that is used to generate high-precision and high-stability of signals for time and frequency electronic systems. It features low phase noise, low jitter and excellent temperature stability, as well as a frequency stability of +/- 5 ppm. The main applications of the GL040F33IDT crystal oscillator are in timekeeping, digital consumer, medical instrumentation, and GNSS applications.
