SIT8208AC-GF-25S-16.000000X

Oscillators

Oscillators are devices used to generate periodic electrical signals, often of fixed frequency. It may be used to produce a periodic waveform acting as a reference in oscillatory circuits in order to control a frequency, phase or timebase. These periodic signals vary from application to application, depending on the frequency and waveform required.

SIT8208AC-GF-25S-16.000000X Application Field and Working Principle

The SIT8208AC-GF-25S-16.000000X is a high-performance oscillator used in applications ranging from microcontrollers, embedded systems, industrial controls, avionics and more. It is specifically designed and manufactured by Sitronix Technology Corporation in Taiwan, one of the world’s leading suppliers of high-performance quartz crystal oscillators.

The oscillator features a frequency range of 16.000000MHz and a frequency stability range of ±3ppm. It is designed with multiple packages such as 4-pin through-hole, 5-pin through-hole, 5-pin surface mount, 6-pin surface mount and even a 4-pad ceramic SMD (SMD size 14.4EC14.4) packages. Together with this variety of packages, the device has great utility in a wide range of temperature options from -25°C to 85°C.

The SIT8208AC-GF-25S-16.000000X oscillator works on an embedded quartz crystal crystal, that is a quartz crystal held by electrodes along its entire length, so that electric charges have direct access to the entire crystal. The crystal is tuned by changing its physical dimensions to oscillate at a desired frequency. This frequency is determined by the vibrations of the crystal, and can be affected by external magnetic fields.

When the crystal rocks in the electric field of the oscillator, the oscillator starts up, build up a charge and outputs a sine wave. The oscillator continuously alternates between sending a positive voltage and a negative voltage to the quartz crystal. This sets up vibrations in the crystal at a certain frequency. The frequency of the vibrations is determined by the crystal’s size and shape.

The SIT8208AC-GF-25S-16.000000X oscillator provides excellent frequency stability and low power consumptions, making it an ideal choice for many applications. It is an optimized device for for precision timing solutions in embedded systems, industrial automation and communication. Thanks to its frequency accuracy options, the device can also be used in many other industries such as consumer electronics, laboratory and test equipment, automotive, and others.
