The TC-66.667MDD-T oscillator can also be used in medical and aerospace applications, and is an ideal choice for designs requiring superior frequency stability and accuracy due to its superior temperature drift, aging characteristics, and frequency accuracy. Furthermore, the oscillator can be used in applications which require low-power operation or designs in which space and weight are key constraints.

Working Principle

The TC-66.667MDD-T oscillator operates using SAW (surface acoustic wave) technology. SAW oscillators are quartz-based, and use a piezoelectric quartz crystal as a resonator to produce a stable and accuracy oscillatory signal. The quartz crystal is mounted to a quartz substrate which serves as a waveguide, allowing for both the production and control of the oscillatory signal.

The SAW process begins with an electrical impulse which is sent to the quartz substrate. This impulse causes the quartz plate to vibrate, and create a standing wave pattern. The standing wave creates pressure nodes on the quartz which act as reflecting points, and this results in a wave pattern which can propagate along the surface of the quartz for a set distance. This distance is referred to as the “Resonant Frequency”, and is dependent on the size and shape of the quartz substrate.

The TC-66.667MDD-T oscillator is designed to produce this specific frequency, and it does so by using quartz substrates with specific dimensions. These pre-measured substrates allow for the oscillator to deliver the precise frequency that it was designed for without any drift or discrepancy.

Conclusion

The TC-66.667MDD-T oscillator is an excellent choice when looking for a low-power, high-precision oscillator for a variety of industrials applications. With its superior temperature drift, aging characteristics, and frequency accuracy, the TC-66.667MDD-T oscillator is an ideal choice for systems requiring superior frequency stability and accuracy. This oscillator works by employing SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) technology and quartz substrates with pre-measured dimensions in order to produce a precise, oscillatory signal.
