Application Field and Working Principle

Quartz crystal oscillators have a wide range of applications; from the consumer electronic products users find in home, to major industrial applications across the world in GPS systems, laboratory experiments and more. The SIT1602BC Quartz Crystal Oscillator is used to provide highly stable, repeatable timing signals for radio communication devices, electronic watches, instruments or any other device that use timing reference.

The quartz crystal oscillator generates an alternating current with highly precise frequency by using a quartz crystal as a frequency-determining element. The quartz crystal is mounted in a sealed holder, attached to the circuit in which the oscillator usually consists of an amplifier and an electronic circuit to allow it to resonate on the crystal frequency. The amplifier is used to provide a sufficiently strong output power for the oscillator’s application.

The quartz crystal has a number of unique properties including the ability to vibrate at frequencies determined by its own physical structure. This property of the crystal also provides the quartz crystal oscillator great stability over a wide temperature range and load conditions. As the temperature changes, the oscillation frequency is constantly monitored and adjusted for stability.

The frequency of the quartz crystal oscillator is determined by the physical characteristics of the quartz crystal and is mainly influenced by the shapes of electrodes that include cut angle, plate thickness, and plate gap width. The accuracy of the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal oscillator is also determined by the quality of the crystal itself. In order to achieve higher accuracy, the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal oscillator is further trimmed by adjusting the plate gap width.

The quartz crystal oscillator is a highly indispensable device used in a variety of applications thanks to its accuracy and repeatability. As high frequency and high accuracy requirements have become the norm in today’s highly digitized world, the SIT1602BC Quartz crystal oscillator is the perfect choice for those applications.
