Working Principle:

The working principle of the SIT1602BC-12-18N-6.000000G is based on an oscillation process that has a frequency determined by its circuit components’ values. It operates by creating an electrical circuit containing a quartz crystal with a certain load capacitor, which is connected to an amplifier that increases the signal of the crystal. It has an oscillation frequency ranges 0.25MHz to 250MHz, and the output waveform is square wave.

When the load capacitors in the oscillator are charged up, an electromagnetic force is created that causes the quartz crystal to vibrate. As the capacitors discharge, the crystal vibrates back in the opposite direction, replenishing the capacitors with the energy they lost. This oscillation continues back and forth until the energy used for the vibration is dissipated, resulting in a waveform.

The SIT1602BC-12-18N-6.000000G oscillator also has adjustable frequency accuracy, and can be adjusted to the precise parameters required for certain tasks. Its squarewave output can range from 0-3V DC, and operates in temperatures ranging from 10°C to 70°C. The input current is 1.8mA with the output voltage below 6V.
