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 ...

The beating heart of most electronic systems today is the crystal oscillator. While devices based on microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) technology are definitely making inroads in this application, ...

We’ve read a lot about oscillators, but crystal oscillators seem to be a bit of a mystery. Hobby-level books tend to say, build a circuit like this and then mess with it until it oscillates.

Just as tuning forks, gongs, and other elastic solids can show physical resonance, the crystal can be used as an electrical resonator. A quartz crystal’s electrical equivalent model is that of a ...

Although oscillators are critical components in most electronic devices, designers needn’t design oscillators themselves in most cases, because the device contains a great deal of the oscillator ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Generating a high-frequency magnetic field can be quite a challenge due to an assortment of technical issues. At high ...
