GL042F35CDT Application Field and Working Principle

GL042F35CDT is a type of Crystal Oscillator with frequency accuracy solid to 25 ppm. It runs on 3.3V DC supply and works with a frequency range of 32.768kHz. This type of crystal oscillator has been developed by the General Electric Company, and has been mainly used in various digital applications like watches and clocks, telecommunication, computing, broadcasting and so on. The features of this oscillator make it especially suitable for modern applications that demand smaller size and better performance.

Application Fields

The GL042F35CDT crystal oscillator has a wide range of applications due to its high frequency accuracy and small size. It is mainly used in:

• Watches and clocks, etc.
• Telecommunications systems
• Computer and electronic circuits
• Broadcasting equipment and audio systems

It can also be used in medical equipment and other precision timing applications, as its frequency error is low and it has a good frequency stability.

Working Principle

The crystal oscillator works on the principle of Piezoelectricity. When a Voltage is applied to two electrodes, it generates an electric field inside the crystal, which, in turn, imposes strain on the crystals. As the strain changes, it alters the crystal\'s mechanical resonance and generates electrical charges. When these charges are attached to the electrodes, they change their orientation and thereby generate a frequency. This frequency is then used to drive electrical circuit.

The crystal Oscillator uses a frequency-determination technique called "pulling". In this method, the oscillator is designed to operate at a particular frequency and when the frequency deviates, the circuit automatically "pulls" the frequency back. This helps to maintain the accuracy of the oscillator\'s output.

Advantages

The main advantages of using the GL042F35CDT crystal oscillator are:

• It has a small size and high frequency accuracy.
• It has good frequency stability.
• It is reliable, economical, and energy efficient.
• It is suitable for a wide range of applications.

This type of crystal oscillator is also well-suited for digital systems as it offers precise timing accuracy and can be easily integrated with other components.
