Oscillators

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating electronic signal, often a sine wave or a square wave. Oscillators convert direct current from a power supply to an alternating current signal. They are widely used in many electronic devices ranging from simplest clock used in digital watches to complex systems such as radios and television sets.

SIT1602BI-72-33E-66.600000D is a robust Clock Oscillator which is popularly used in a wide range of industrial, communications, measurement, and consumer electronics applications. It presents an excellent combination of frequency stability, frequency accuracy and low power consumption, allowing system designers to extend battery life or to select a higher performance oscillator in a smaller package.

Application field

SIT1602BI-72-33E-66.600000D is widely used in portable applications such as hard disk and removable storage, data communications, point-of-sale devices, modems, personal digital assistants (PDAs), set-top boxes, automotive applications, medical and consumer applications. As well as, it is suitable for embedded oscillators in communication and fiber-optic components, VCOs for radio communications products such as Wi-Fi/Bluetooth applications.

Working principle

The operating principle of the SIT1602BI-72-33E-66.600000D is based on the variation of capacitive elements and its feedback through a tuned circuit. The frequency of oscillation is determined by the tuning of the tuned circuit. The oscillator is a free-running oscillator which generates a periodic electronic signal without any outside influence. It works by feeding energy back to itself in a feedback loop. The energy is fed to the oscillator from an external source and it amplifies the signal before sending it back. This signal is then read by an electronic system.

SIT1602BI-72-33E-66.600000D has a fundamental frequency range from 66.60000 KHz to 799.999 KHz. Additionally, its stability is as low as 1.0 parts per million. It allows relatively high power consumption and suitable for numerous product designs.
