Working Principle

The working principle of the PL520-08OC is based around the use of a quartz crystal in a series circuit to produce an oscillation. A control voltage is applied to the crystal, which oscillates at a certain frequency. This frequency is determined by the physical characteristics of the crystal. The circuit then amplifies this oscillation and provides a high amplitude output.

The PL520-08OC also provides a number of additional features to make it applicable to a range of applications. One of these is the ability to divide the output frequency by a specific, user-defined factor. This can be used to produce specific frequencies which can be used in systems such as instrumentation and avionics. The device also provides additional buffering to ensure any noise is eliminated from the signal.

The PL520-08OC is also designed to be highly reliable and stable over a wide temperature range. It contains a temperature-compensated crystal circuit, which ensures accuracy and stability of the output signal. This makes it well-suited for demanding environmental applications.

The PL520-08OC crystal oscillator chip is an invaluable device for a wide range of applications. Its low-power and highly reliable operation makes it ideal for systems requiring stability and accuracy. It can be used for both precise and general timekeeping, and can also be used to provide precise control of output signals.
