The classical quartz crystal oscillator is historically one of the most fragile components in an electronic system. This is not surprising since the quartz crystal resonator within the oscillator was ...

Targeting LAN (local-area networks) and SAN (storage-area networks), Epson Toyocom recently announced the highly stable EG-4101/4121CA SAW (surface-acoustic-wave) resonator. The part combines low ...

TXC is optimistic about high-end quartz crystal and crystal oscillator demand in the second half of 2023, thanks to the release of new smartphone models and AI device applications, according to the ...

An oscillator that uses a quartz crystal to generate a frequency. Such devices generally output a fixed frequency, but some can be controlled by a tuning voltage over a small range. Contrast with VCO.

This article discusses the timing issues that designers of automotive electronic systems face, and introduces a selection ...

If you have an old “Racal-Dana 199x” frequency counter or similar 10 MHz internally referenced gear with a poor tolerance “standard quartz crystal oscillator” or bit better “temperature compensated ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Precision frequency standards provide ...

Research project at Caltech shows terahertz oscillations possible for diverse electronics applications. Vahala's laser frequency reference (left); the quartz "tuning fork" (center) is a conventional ...

AN article on this subject by I.E. Fair (Bell Lab. Rec., £\ 21, No. 8; April, 1943) points out that stability is one of the major requirements for oscillators controlling the frequency of radio ...

While most applications will use a crystal oscillator, two options may be a better fit for your design: ceramic resonators and surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonators. Ceramic resonators are ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Devices ranging from microcontroller units (MCUs) to field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) permeate our connected world. To operate properly, such ...
