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 ...

Stable, accurate reference frequencies are basic to almost all digital electronics. The most common references combine quartz crystals with clock-generator circuits, often employing a PLL ...

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.

Designed to control the frequency of crystal oscillator circuits, the 3022 series of high-ratio, hyperabrupt varactor tuning diodes is designed to deliver a dc bias control voltage from -0.3V to -4V.

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 ...

Crystal oscillators are often one of the last components that a designer thinks about, but the wrong part can quickly kill a design. Moreover, searching through a wide variety of available oscillators ...
