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

This project details the construction and observation of a simple crystal oscillator circuit designed to generate a clock signal around 16 MHz. The oscillator is built using a 16.000 MHz crystal, a ...

Silicon Laboratories is offering a new class of oscillator as a frequency reference. The all-silicon Si500 series uses neither a MEMS (microelectromechanical-system) frequency system nor a crystal, ...

Crystal oscillators are incredibly useful components, but they come with one little snag: their oscillation is temperature-dependent. For many applications the relatively small deviation is not a ...

A Pierce (crystal) oscillator intended to provide a reliable clock signal for at least 1 year when powered by battery voltages as low as 2.4 V. Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can ...

Crystal oscillators are incredibly useful components, but they come with one little snag: their oscillation is temperature-dependent. For many applications the relatively small deviation is not a ...

Abstract: This paper proposed a 3rd harmonic crystal oscillator that implemented in a BJT architecture with voltage loop tuning. The design integrated Negative Capacitance Field Effect Transistors ...

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 ...
