TS060F33CDT

Crystals

Crystals are classified as oscillators due to their ability to generate precise, repeatable electrical signals. One of the most common crystals used in oscillators is the TS060F33CDT. This crystal is a commonly used temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) or voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO).

TS060F33CDT has an application field as a precision clock oscillator. It is widely used in computers, laptops, games consoles, peripherals, etc. due to its accuracy and stability. It is also used for pulse-generation circuits and phase-locked loops (PLLs) for radio communication.

The working principle of TS060F33CDT is based on vibrating quartz crystals at a precise frequency. Quartz crystals are piezoelectric materials that vibrate when energized with an electric field of a certain frequency. The vibration creates an AC voltage which can be then converted into a pulse train and corrected for temperature-induced variations.

The internal components of the TS060F33CDT are arranged such that the crystal oscillator is maintained in an annealed and thermally compensated environment. A thermistor is used to measure the temperature-induced variations and a PLL is used to stabilize the output frequency. In addition, the oscillator contains an output buffer that amplifies the signal and ensures low noise.

In order to ensure accuracy, the TS060F33CDT needs to be calibrated at the time of manufacture. The calibration involves setting the internal frequency divider, the control voltage, and any other parameters. This ensures that the oscillator performs as expected in various temperature and humidity conditions.

TS060F33CDT is a reliable and versatile crystal oscillator that is widely used in many electronics applications. It provides a precise, low-jitter, temperature-compensated clock that can be used in a variety of applications.
