Working Principle

The TC25N5C32K7680 oscillator uses a quartz crystal as its resonant element. A quartz crystal is a piezoelectric material which has the ability to vibrate in response to an electrical signal. This vibration causes an alternating current that is used to produce the desired output frequency. The frequency is determined by the type of crystal and its physical dimensions.

The frequency and stability of the oscillator are then adjusted by the use of temperature compensation components that are connected to the crystal. When the temperature changes, these components adjust the output frequency so that it remains as stable as possible. This is known as temperature compensation.

The TC25N5C32K7680 oscillator also includes other features such as an on-board Regulator, a PLL for improved phase lock accuracy, a 10/20/25 kHz low noise step up/down converter, an External Clock Synchronization function, and more. All these functions combine to provide a precise and reliable signal.
