Working Principle

SIT3808AI-C2-33EX-28.375000Y oscillator is an active type oscillator. It consists of a frequency determining element and an amplifier which functions to provide the required gain for the oscillation to take place. The frequency determining element in this oscillator is the quartz crystal. Other frequency determining elements such as resistors, capacitors, inductors may also be used to customize the oscillation frequency.

The quartz crystal works by converting electrical energy into mechanical vibration energy. This oscillator works by first generating an initial signal. This signal is then amplified by the active components in the oscillator. The amplified signal is then mixed with the original signal and the resulting signal is further amplified and mixed again.

The energy of the signal is thus amplified repeatedly until the signal becomes a frequency of the desired value. This frequency is then fed to the electronic circuits in order to be used as a reliable and precise clock reference. Since this oscillator generates a signal of constant frequency, it is capable of providing high accuracy and stability over time.
