Working Principle

The SIT9120AI-2C2-33E133.330000X oscillator works on a double feedback loop architecture. It consists of two stages, oscillator core and feedback loop. In the oscillator core, a LC tank circuit is formed by an inductor (L) and capacitor (C). This LC tank is connected to an amplifier, the inverted and non-inverted signals from the amplifier are fed back to the input of the LC tank circuit, and this forms the feedback loop. In the first stage, the input is processed in the LC tank circuit; the input process is linear and the output generated is a sine wave. Then in the second stage, the sine wave from the LC tank circuit is fed back to the amplifier as an input, and the amplifier amplifies the signal to generate oscillations. This amplification process is repeated with every cycle, and the resonant frequency of the LC tank determines the frequency of the oscillations. Thus, a steady and precise frequency output is generated by the oscillator.

The output frequency of SIT9120AI-2C2-33E133.330000X oscillator can be adjusted by varying the capacitance or inductance value of the LC tank circuit. This enables the frequency to be changed easily without the need for external components. It also helps to reduce the total component count and complexity of the design. The oscillator also features a wide range of options such as spread spectrum mode and variable frequency to enable flexible application design.
