Description

Ensure timing accuracy in your electronic projects with this crystal oscillator from Onsemi. A crystal oscillator is a circuit that utilizes the precise vibrational frequency of a piezoelectric crystal to generate a highly stable electronic signal at a specific frequency. This stability makes crystal oscillators essential components in various applications requiring accurate timing, such as:

• Microcontrollers and microprocessors: Crystal oscillators provide the precise clock signal needed for these devices to function correctly.
• Communication systems: They are crucial for generating carrier signals used in radio, television, and other communication technologies.
• Test and measurement equipment: Crystal oscillators ensure accurate timekeeping and signal generation in test equipment.

Key features of crystal oscillators:

• Highly stable output frequency determined by a piezoelectric crystal
• Accurate timing for electronic devices
• Widely used in microcontrollers, communication systems, and test equipment
