Crystals find their application in various devices primarily as a source of frequency reference. One such form of a crystal oscillator is known as the MP018B, which is a voltage-controlled quartz crystal oscillator (VCXO). It is filled with a solid-state electronic device and a quartz crystal housed together in a miniature package. The MP018B along with several other silicon VCXOs, is capable of short-term frequency stability, low jitter, and low standard deviation of the products. This makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial, telecommunications, and wireless applications.

Working Principle

Quartz crystals have been used as frequency reference elements in oscillators since the early 1930s. They take advantage of a physical property in quartz, piezoelectricity, which gives them the ability to convert electrical energy into vibration, and vice versa. In the quartz crystal oscillator design, the energy conversion is bidirectional, meaning both electrical energy to mechanical energy and mechanical energy to electrical energy.

In each operation of the quartz crystal oscillator, a cycle of events occurs. In the first phase, an alternating electrical current is applied to a quartz crystal, creating an oscillating vibrating wave in the quartz crystal. This wave is then transferred to a set of electrodes located on the quartz crystal face. The energy that is generated by the electrodes is converted back into an electrical signal, which is then fed back through the crystal circuit.

For the next step, the signal is amplified and sent to the output stage. The feedback control circuit within the oscillator then precisely adjusts the frequency of the oscillations to the frequency of the quartz crystal. This way, the output waveform exactly conforms to the frequency reference of the quartz crystal. The waveform is then sent to the output stage and converted into a power signal that can be used by the application.

Application Field

The application field of the MP018B is quite broad and it mainly covers a wide range of industrial applications, as well as consumer electronics. It is typically used in PC peripheral products such as modems, audio/video consumer electronic devices, and smart cards. The MP018B is also used in wireless communications and instrumentation including digital signal processing. Apart from this, its applications also include network servers, mobile phones, cellular base stations, and embedded systems, among others.

The MP018B is versatile in its use because of its ability to offer very low jitter and superior frequency accuracy. These features make it suitable for a wide range of industrial, telecommunications, and wireless applications. The MP018B is typically employed in laboratory testing, and certain high-precision applications, including coin-operated machines, automatic vending machines, and satellite receivers. In addition, it is also used in applications where high frequency control is required, such as inclock synchronization for a number of computers in a network.

Conclusion

The MP018B is an advanced and capable quartz crystal oscillator with excellent performance and solid construction. Its wide application field means it can be employed in a variety of systems, from PCs to embedded systems. The crystal oscillator has excellent jitter and frequency accuracy, making it suitable for industrial, telecommunications, and wireless applications. It is also used in laboratory testing and certain high-precision applications.
