MP020B-E

Crystals are an essential component of many electronic circuits. They help maintain an oscillation frequency, allow the signal to remain stable, and ensure precise timing of circuits. Crystals come in various shapes and sizes, with different frequency ranges, package styles and power ratings. One example is the MP020B-E crystal. The MP020B-E Crystal is a specified sheet crystal for consumer electronics and industrial-level applications. Its operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C, and it has a frequency range of 6MHz to 40.000MHz. It is a through-hole crystal, with a small size of 2.0mm x 1.2mm and a low height of 0.45mm. Due to its low height, it can be used in ultra-thin consumer electronics. The crystal is made up of several components: an X-cut quartz plate, electrodes, a hermetic delicate seal, an impedance matching network, and a buffering capacitor.The MP020B-E Crystal is formed by employing a patented process that greatly enhances the frequency control accuracy of the crystal by improving the sheet process. Furthermore, advanced temperature compensation techniques are employed to improve the temperature stability. In consumer electronics applications, its advanced frequency accuracy, temperature stability, and ultra-thin size can be taken advantage of. The MP020B-E Crystal is used in the consumer electronics market for the Generation of audio and video signals due to its high mix of frequency stability with accuracy and sensitivity. It is also used for data signal processing and timing signal generation in consumer electronics products, for which it is usually found in signal processing ICs and micro-controllers. Its small size, low power consumption and improved temperature stability lend itself to being used in mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. The working principle of the MP020B-E Crystal is mainly based on the vibrating quartz X-cut plates. The quartz plates respond to applied energy in the form of voltage by vibrating. In its vibrating state, the quartz crystal will produce a frequency. Due to the quartz structure, its crystal frequency is very close to a harmonic of the original applied voltage. This frequency can be employed in consumer electronics products as a reference or clock signal. The working of the crystal is based on the following three phenomena:

• Piezoelectricity – Quartz plates are made out of a piezoelectric material that has crystals which vibrate when a voltage potential is applied across them.
• Resonance – As the quartz plates vibrate, the frequency of the vibration is inversely proportional to the size of the quartz plate.
• Frequency stability – The oscillation frequency of the MP020B-E crystal is more stable than other crystals due to its advanced temperature compensation techniques and improved frequency control accuracy from the sheet process.

The MP020B-E Crystal can be utilized in many applications, from consumer electronic devices to industrial-level applications, due to its ultra-thin size, low power consumption and improved frequency stability. It also can be used for signal processing and timing signal generation, allowing it to have a wide range of applications. The crystal offers high frequency accuracy and stability, improved temperature stability, and a low height of 0.45mm, making it suitable for use in ultra-thin consumer electronics.
