Working Principle

The TD-3.6864MCD-T works based on a piezoelectric effect. It consists of a quartz crystal with electrodes on two sides that vibrate at their resonant frequency when excited with an electrical current. When the quartz crystal vibrates, it creates mechanical vibrations that are converted in to an electrical current due to piezoelectric effect. This voltage is amplified and rectified to produce the output signal. The frequency of the output signal is determined by the vibrating frequency of the quartz crystal.

The frequency of the oscillator can be controlled using a number of methods, such as temperature compensation, voltage controlled oscillators, or phase locked loops. The oscillator can also be designed to operate at a specific frequency or tuned over a range of frequencies. Generally, the control method used depends upon the application and performance requirements.

At different temperatures, the quartz crystal undergoes expansion and contraction, which affects the frequency of vibration. To ensure accuracy and stability of the oscillator, temperature compensation must be used. This can be done either digitally or manually by adjusting the oscillator to a fixed frequency or temperature.

Conclusion

TD-3.6864MCD-T is an oscillator that is used to generate precise and reliable frequency signals. The oscillator works on the piezoelectric effect. It is mainly used in radio communication, frequency reference, medical imaging, motor control, and computer data transfer. The frequency of the oscillator can be controlled by temperature compensation, voltage control or phase locked loops. Thus TD-3.6864MCD-T is suitable for applications requiring precise frequency and timing.
