MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS

Crystals

Crystals, also known as oscillators or crystals oscillators, are key components in electronic equipment, playing an important role in precision timing and assuring a stable output. Crystals combine the features of a resonator circuit element—the ability to oscillate at a precise frequency—with the physical and electrical characteristics of a crystalline material.

MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS application field and working principle

The MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS crystal is a SMD quartz crystal oscillator, specifically designed to provide a precise oscillation frequency in RADAR and GPS applications. The MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS crystal is designed for use in high temperature applications and is compliant with RoHS requirements. The operating temperature range of the oscillator is -40°C to +105°C.

The crystal oscillator operates on the principle of the vibrational properties of a quartz crystal. Quartz is anisotropic, meaning it has different properties when looking along different axes—it vibrates in different directions, depending on the direction along which the force is applied. This vibration can be set up to create an oscillation of a specific frequency at an amplitude appropriate for the application.

In designing the MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS crystal oscillator, the force is applied via a Piezo-electric process, whereby an electrical current is applied to the crystal, causing it to vibrate at the required frequency. The electrical signal is then amplified and filtered, to allow accurate control of the amplitude and frequency of the signal.

The MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS crystal oscillator is designed for high frequency applications that require precise control. Its high performance is achieved through a combination of small size, low power consumption and wide temperature range. The oscillator is particularly suited to RADAR and GPS applications, due to its ability to provide reliable, low-phase noise signals.

The MA-406 12.0000M-G3:ROHS crystal oscillator is a versatile component designed to meet the demands of a variety of applications. Its small size, low power consumption and wide temperature range make it an ideal choice for a number of applications, including RADAR and GPS. Its RoHS compliance ensures that it is safe to use in high temperature environments.
