Abstract: Quartz crystals are mechanical resonators with piezoelectric properties. The piezoelectric properties (electric potential across the crystal is proportional to mechanical deformation) allow ...

This tutorial explains the primary design considerations to be addressed in a design of a simple crystal oscillator using AT-cut crystals. The basic qualities of a crystal oscillator and factors that ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

The EMXO is smaller than other components, uses less power, and offers other advantages for designers trying to meet the tough demands of space systems. Why EMXOs, though less well known than OCXOs, ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...
