LFSPXO071235REEL Crystals, Oscillators, Resonators

The LFSPXO071235REEL is a type of Oscillator that utilizes a quartz crystal as its resonator, allowing for exceptionally high precision within its tuning range. A quartz crystal oscillator, otherwise known as an AT-Cut (because of its angle of cut with respect to the quartz planes), consists of a quartz crystal mechanically mounted within a tiny metal container. This container also contains two electrodes which have been generated by etching the metal lead frames. Electrically driven by an excitation current, the quartz crystal begins to vibrate at a certain natural frequency. This vibration is then amplified by the associated electronic components within the oscillator, and after additional conditioning is directed to a specific output.

Quartz crystals are particularly suited for oscillator applications due to their low inherent aging, high stability over temperature, and low drive levels. This makes them far more suitable than the typical mechanical oscillator components currently available. LFSPXO071235REEL oscillators are generally utilized within the broadcast, communication, and instrumentation industries, where ultra-low jitter, aging, and resistance to interference are key factors to successful performance.

The LFSPXO071235REEL oscillator is particularly useful because it offers the user excellent stability with aging characteristics. The oscillator offers a wide temperature stability range from -10 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius, with a very low temperature coefficient of 0.25 parts per million (ppm) per Celsius degree. This ensures that frequencies remain extremely consistent over temperature variations, making the oscillator suitable for applications where stability is essential.

The LFSPXO071235REEL oscillator also features a wide frequency range of 1.2MHz to 120MHz, making it suitable for a variety of different applications. As well as this, the device also offers a wide selection of options and packages to suit a range of customer needs. Customers are able to select either ceramic or plastic packages, and can also choose between Symmetry Electronics’ patented NonStop™ and OCD™ oscillators, which offer more robust signal delivery.

The working principle of the LFSPXO071235REEL oscillator is simple yet effective. The quartz crystal acts as an active component in the oscillator, which is electrically driven by an excitation current. The applied frequency of the current causes the crystal to vibrate at that particular natural frequency – known as the resonant frequency – which is then amplified by the associated components and directed to an output. As the frequency of the excitation current changes, so too does the overall frequency of the output.

This makes the LFSPXO071235REEL oscillator an essential component in many different industries, as it provides an accurate and stable output frequency. With a wide range of features and an exceptional frequency range, this unique type of oscillator can be used in a variety of applications, and is a reliable and cost-effective solution for those seeking a precise tuned oscillator.
