Oscillators

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates alternating current through the repeated process of alternately storing energy and releasing energy over time. Automatically generated, an oscillator’s energy output matches the frequency of its input. The most fundamental use of an oscillator is to create a resonating frequency, such as the sound of a tuning fork. Oscillators are also used to regulate power, stabilize voltages, and manage signal levels within electronic components.

TC-68.000MCD-T oscillator, also referred to as a "crystal oscillator," is a type of oscillator that measures electrical resonance using a quartz crystal. This type of oscillator finds applications in high-precision, low power circuits, making it especially well suited for use in computers and microprocessors. This particular model offers extremely precise frequency regulation with stability +/- .25ppm.

Additionally, TC-68.000MCD-T is often used to control signal synchronization in complex signal paths.

Working Principle

The TC-68.000MCD-T quartz crystal oscillator works by using an electric current to apply a voltage across a quartz crystal material, thus causing the crystal to vibrate at a fixed frequency. When the crystal is oscillating, it creates an electrical oscillation which can be measured and used in electronic designs.

Quartz crystal oscillators provide not only a stable oscillating frequency, but also very precise control for very high frequency operations. The precision of the frequency can be regulated by using a varicap diode, which is placed in parallel with the quartz crystal. By controlling the voltage applied to the diode, its capacitance value can be changed, which in turn changes the capacitive reactance, and thus the signal frequency.

The TC-68.000MCD-T oscillator measures the resonance frequency of the crystal exactly and provides an extremely precise and stable frequency output, allowing the circuit design to be more precise and efficient. Additionally, the frequency stability and accuracy of the oscillator are much greater than those of other types of oscillators, and also reduce noise interference compared to other electrical components.
