TS160F23CDT

Crystals

Crystals are widely used in many of today\'s sophisticated electronic products, such as mobile phones, radio receivers, computer and digital control systems, etc. Among those crystals, TS160F23CDT is one typical type.

Application Field of TS160F23CDT

The TS160F23CDT is an 11.0592 MHz crystal. Its small size and low cost make it an ideal choice for many applications, such as clock circuits, VCO (Voltage Control Oscillators), Synthesizers, and GPS receivers. Furthermore, with its high stability, it can be used in precision circuits such as Automatic Test Equipment, Timers and Counters.

Working Principle of TS160F23CDT

TS160F23CDT crystal operates on the principle of quartz piezoelectric effect. Quartz crystals have the property that when an electric field is applied parallel to them, they change their shape, which cause them to generate a small electric field in turn. This generated electric field can drive a circuit which in its turn can amplify it to the right frequency.

To achieve good oscillation quality, a proper circuit design is essential. A crystal oscillator circuit consists of an amplifier, a feedback network and a crystal. The amplifier amplifies the small signal generated by the crystal to the desired level, and the feedback network is used to determine the oscillation frequency. The crystal must be chosen so as to match with the feedback network so that it can oscillate at the desired frequency.

In summary, the TS160F23CDT crystal, with its small size and low cost, is an ideal choice for many of today\'s electronic products. Its wide application field and sophisticated working principle makes it one of the most widely used and important types of crystals.
