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

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

I am trying to hook up a crystal oscillator to a PIC mcu, along with two pf ceramic capacitors.<BR><BR>Every diagram I have come accross uses two-pin crystal ...

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 ...

Our hacker [Wil Carver] has sent in his submission for the One Hertz Challenge: Precise Time Ref via 1 Pulse-Per-Second GPS Signal. This GPS Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) project uses a Piezo 2940210 ...

Appropriately cut quartz crystals can be used as high-quality electromechanical resonators. Their piezoelectric properties (voltage across the crystal deforms it; deforming the crystal generates a ...
