TS11DF33CET Crystals

Crystals are used in electronic applications to produce specifically defined frequencies and have found use in such applications as quartz clocks, television, and radio receivers, and cellular phones. They are also used in smart electronic devices, computers and military equipment. A key component of these crystals are the TS11DF33CET crystals.

TS11DF33CET Application Field

TS11DF33CET crystals are mainly used as clocks for embedded microcontrollers, but also as reference oscillators for GPS systems, wireless base stations and communication transceivers. This crystals are fabricated to high precision and includes a TTL Clock Generator with a split power supply, an optional embedded EMI filter, and a selectable output drive strength of 8mA or 12mA. Other features include an external crystal input with an external clock output, an on-board 32.768kHz crystal, and a selectable oscillation performance to meet or exceed most common communication standards. This crystal is often chosen for its superior reliability, accuracy and efficiency.

TS11DF33CET Working Principle

The TS11DF33CET crystal is a quartz crystal oscillator that is designed to produce a very precise signal with a frequency of 32.768 kHz. The crystal consists of two pieces of quartz that are held together and tightly secured by a metal frame. The quartz is cut in such a way that it has a precise shape and thickness that makes it vibrate at the precise desired frequency. The sound waves generated by the crystal are then amplified, filtered and output through an electrical signal.

The key to the crystal’s accuracy is the size and precision of the quartz. The thinner the quartz, the faster it will vibrate, and the greater its accuracy. The thicker the quartz, the slower it will vibrate, and the more inaccuracy it will have. The most common quartz used in TS11DF33CET crystals is called AT cut quartz, as it is cut at an angle of 27 degrees. This type of quartz is known to be one of the most accurate and reliable.

The crystal is powered by a quartz oscillator and from a TTL Clock Generator. When electricity is applied to the Oscillator, it sends a waveform to the crystal which is an alternating current of about 5V and 25mA. This oscillating current causes the quartz to vibrate, resulting in an electrical output signal that is amplified and filtered for accuracy. The electrical output is then forwarded to the microcontroller, which uses it as a reference for various clock functions.

The advantage of the TS11DF33CET crystal is that it is much more accurate and reliable than other oscillator options and has been certified to meet the standards of many communication protocols, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS.

Conclusion

The TS11DF33CET quartz crystal is a highly accurate and reliable component used in many electronic applications. It is designed to produce an exact frequency with little inaccuracy, and is often chosen for its superior performance and reliability.
