Oscillators

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a repetitive waveform, usually a sine wave. Oscillators are versatile components in digital and analog circuits, which are commonly used to generate clock signals, modulate signals, and create waveforms for radios and audio. Among these oscillators, SIT1602BI-11-XXS-62.500000E is a type of crystal oscillators that has promising application field and working principle.

Application Field

The SIT1602BI-11-XXS-62.500000E is an ultra-miniature, 6.25 MHz surface mount quartz crystal oscillator that is used in a variety of commercial, industrial, and military applications where weight, size, and temperature are of primary concern. It is often used in handheld and mobile devices, especially for microprocessor-based applications that require precise oscillating frequency source, such as wireless communications, location and navigation systems, medical device or Point of Sale (POS) systems, and automotive system upgrades.

Working Principle

The SIT1602BI-11-XXS-62.500000E oscillator operates on the principle of a quartz crystal vibrating at its resonant frequency in response to an applied electrical signal. The crystal consists of a thin strip of piezoelectric material mounted to a metallic substrate or in between two electrodes. When an alternating current voltage is applied across the electrodes, the quartz crystal vibrates at its resonant frequency, determined by the properties of the quartz and its size and shape. This frequency is typically between 0.5MHz to 40MHz and can be accurately controlled. The oscillator produces a frequency-stable, low-jitter signal ideal for timing applications.
