LP160F35IDT

Crystals are used for many different applications, and the LP160F35IDT crystal device is no exception. It is an integrated device which is designed for production of quartz crystals and oscillators. The LP160F35IDT crystal is part of Littelfuse’s ‘High Performance Oscillator and Crystal Solutions’ product line, designed for applications such as wireless and cellular communications, consumer and industrial electronics, automotive electronics and more.

The LP160F35IDT crystal is suitable for use in SMPS switching regulator or low-power switching regulator applications. The device is composed of a quartz crystal mounted in a package which includes an SMA connector, making it easy to install and use. The crystal is RoHS compliant and its enclosure is made of high temperature thermoplastic material with a high thermal conductivity of 2.7 W / mK.

The crystal has an average power rating of 60 mW and a resonance frequency of 32.768 kHz or lower. The unit also has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, which allows it to operate in harsh environments. Furthermore, the device is designed to have a wide pull range, high programmable start-up frequency accuracy, and stable frequency control over temperature and supply voltage.

The LP160F35IDT crystal device operates on the physical principle that when a quartz crystal is subjected to an external electrical field, the crystal will vibrate at a certain frequency. This frequency is determined by the size, shape and orientation of the crystal, and is referred to as the resonance frequency. In the LP160F35IDT crystal, electric signals are applied to the quartz plate, causing it to vibrate at its resonance frequency, which is 32.768 kHz or lower.

In addition to its physical operation, the LP160F35IDT crystal also has built-in circuitry that controls its resonant frequency. This circuitry is called the charge pump and consists of capacitors and other active components. The charge pump works by increasing or decreasing the internal electric field of the quartz plate to counter any changes in the external electrical field. This ensures the crystal operates at its resonance frequency and achieves a stable frequency control over temperature and supply voltage.

In summary, the LP160F35IDT crystal device is an integrated device specifically designed for production of quartz crystals and oscillators for use in SMPS switching regulator and low-power switching regulator applications. It is designed to have a wide pull range, high programmable start-up frequency accuracy, and stable frequency control over temperature and supply voltage.
