Working Principle

The SIT1602BI-31-18N-10.000000X oscillator uses a technology called micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) that consists of one or more integrated circuit chips, a sensor component, a transducer, and a damping system. The MEMS technology provides a reliable and accurate oscillation frequency over temperature, shock, vibration, and humidity conditions. It is designed to provide a safe and robust architecture for reliable frequency control in challenging environments.

The oscillator contains a crystal which is mounted on the MEMS element and encapsulated in a temperature-sensitive gel. The gel will expand when the temperature changes, causing the crystal to vibrate, which oscillates the circuit. The circuit is then tuned to the desired frequency through the feedback loop.

The oscillator is designed to be very stable over temperature. It includes temperature compensation circuitry and a voltage adjustment feature to ensure accuracy and long-term stability. Additionally, tiny capacitors and inductors are used to achieve a better frequency response and higher accuracy.
