TS320T33CDT

Crystals

Crystals are special components that play an essential role in electronic circuits, providing timing signals for controlling the operation of electronic devices. One type of crystal common in electronic circuits is the TS320T33CDT.

Application Field

The TS320T33CDT is a 24MHz quartz crystal, designed for use in digital radio equipment, including radio transmitters, receivers and digital signal processors. It has a low operating temperature tolerance range of -10C to +70C, and a guaranteed range of stability over the entire operating temperature range. The crystal is also suitable for use in oscillators and frequency dividers, as well as clock circuits, such as those in microcontrollers and embedded systems.

Working Principle

The quartz crystal in the TS320T33CDT works in the same way as a traditional quartz crystal. When electrical current passes through the crystal, it causes the crystal to vibrate at a specific frequency, depending on its size and shape. This frequency can then be used as a reference signal for timing operations, such as to define period or frequency values for oscillators.

The TS320T33CDT crystal is constructed of two electrodes, one on either side of the quartz element, that are used to convert the electrical energy into mechanical vibrations. When electrical current is applied to the crystal, it vibrates at a specific frequency, which can then be used as an accurate time reference for timing operations.

Conclusion

The TS320T33CDT crystal is a 24MHz quartz crystal, designed for use in digital radio equipment and oscillators. It is designed to provide a highly accurate time reference, and has a wide operating temperature range. This makes it suitable for use in a variety of applications, including radio transmitters, receivers, microcontrollers and embedded systems.
