TS100F11CDT

Crystals are a vital component in many electronic systems, providing the correct frequency and accuracy through the use of their static electric field. The TS100F11CDT crystal is one such component, used in numerous consumer and industrial applicaitons, its accuracy and wide temperature range making it an excellent choice for many production runs. In this article, we will explore the application field and working principle of the TS100F11CDT crystal.

Applications of the TS100F11CDT Crystal

The TS100F11CDT crystal is applicable in a wide range of systems and products, covering consumer and industrial electronics, from communications systems and PLCs, to consumer products such as TVs and MP3 players. Thanks to its wide temperature range, from -20°C to +80°C and a frequency stability of ±30ppm in the range from -20°C to +70°C, it is suitable for a wide range of applications.

It has been traditionally used in transmitting and receiving applications particularly suited for its performance in medium and long distance communications, as it provides linear and uniform frequency output over wide temperature change. Systems such as Microwaves, ultrawave communications, UHF/VHF radios, digital radio systems and optomagnetic communication networks all depend to the accuracy of the TS100F11CDT crystal.

In addition to this, it has been utilized in the medical industry, where it plays a vital role in medical monitoring, scanning and imaging devices. It is also used in industrial applications such as robots for automation, temperature controllers and CNC machines. This list is by no means exhaustive, but demonstrates the sheer multitude of applications that the TS100F11CDT crystal is suitable for.

The Working Principle of the TS100F11CDT Crystal

The core elements of the TS100F11CDT crystal’s operation are based on the piezoelectric effect, the property of certain materials to generate an electric field when mechanically stressed, and the reverse effect of materials generating a mechanical strain when an electric field is applied. By exploiting this property with its natural frequency, a quartz crystal oscillator is formed.

It works as an electrical filter, selecting a single frequency whilst rejecting frequencies that are out of the desired range. The necessary frequency is generated by an oscillator circuit into which the crystal is coupled, magnetically or capacitively. This circuit then supplies a sine wave to the crystal and the crystal responds with its own frequency, allowing for further processing of the signal either for uploading or for further transmission.

To achieve its great accuracy, the TS100F11CDT crystal is manufactured with extreme care. The quartz substrate is carefully selected and cut with specialized laser techniques to ensure that it has a uniform dielectric property. Its electrodes are crafted with extreme accuracy and the device is then hermetically sealed and connected to its package using superior soldering techniques.

Conclusion

The TS100F11CDT crystal is an excellent component for many electronic applications where accuracy and reliability are essential. Its wide temperature range and frequency stability make it ideal for the majority of long distance communication systems, as well as many medical and industrial applications. Through the use of its piezoelectric properties, it provides a single frequency output with great accuracy and is thus an integral component in many different products.
