Crystals

A crystal is a solid material whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an ordered pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. Crystals are all around us; They are in everything from the electronic devices we use, to the canvas of nature where they form gemstones ranging in rarity, size and color. Crystals have unique physical and chemical characteristics that can be used to create specialized applications. The TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ crystal is one example of a crystal that can be used in specialized applications.

TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ Application Field

The TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ crystal is a tuning-fork crystal employed in numerous timing applications. It has the features of high stability for frequent non-volatile tuning, a temperature stability of ±10ppm, accuracy stability after age ±2.5ppm, and an equitemp coefficient stability of ±3ppm. Additionally, the crystal is highly insensitive to shock and vibration, and is designed to withstand a wide range of soldering temperatures and in-field conditions.

This crystal is used in applications such as digital cellular phones, satellite communications, router and switching platforms, audio systems, digital TVs and video applications, automotive systems, medical equipment, and other portable devices.

TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ Working Principle

The TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ crystal operates on a principle known as the “tuning-fork crystal.” This type of crystal produces a specific frequency of signal by vibrating at its natural resonance frequency when excited with a voltage. When the crystal is excited to vibrate at its natural frequency, the two electrodes emit a signal at the same frequency which allows for more accurate timing regulation.

The frequency of vibration is determined by the dimensions of the crystal. The dimensions of the TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ crystal are chosen to produce a frequency of 26MHz. This frequency can be further controlled by changing the resistance of the electrodes or using a frequency control amplifier.

Conclusion

The TSX-3225 26.0000MF20X-AJ crystal is a highly specialized peripheral designed specifically for timing applications. It operates on the tuning-fork principle where two electrodes vibrate at the same frequency when excited to their natural resonance frequency. Its small physical size and resistance to shock and vibration make it ideal for use in a variety of electronics, including digital cellular phones, satellite communications, routers and switching platforms, audio systems, digital TVs and video applications, medical equipment, and other portable devices.
