We now use quartz-based crystals and their oscillators as standard components in nearly every design. There are countless versions available with different sets of specifications ranging from fairly ...

The VFT-5 crystal oscillator em-ploys unique methods for frequency multiplication and for vacuum sealing the quartz crystal to meet the high-frequency clocking ...

This tutorial explains the primary design considerations to be addressed in a design of a simple crystal oscillator using AT-cut crystals. The basic qualities of a crystal oscillator and factors that ...

One method of generating a single-sideband transmission makes use of a crystal filter narrow enough to extract one sideband from a double-sideband suppressed carrier AM signal. The chances are that ...

Almost every electronic product needs a clock to provide its 'heartbeat' and, traditionally, this heartbeat has been supplied by a quartz oscillator. While there is nothing wrong with the basic ...

Integrated Device Technology has announced the availability of all-silicon cmos oscillators in wafer and package forms. According to the mixed signal semiconductor specialist, it is the only company ...

Yesterday we published a first look at the hardware found on the DEF CON 27 badge. Sporting a magnetically coupled wireless communications scheme rather than an RF-based one, and an interesting way to ...

Called SiT8021, power consumption is 110µA for 3MHz, and the device is available in chip-scale packages (CSPs) as small as 1.5×0.8mm. The MEMS part is a 524kHz double tuning fork resonator (see ...

Texas Instruments has removed the need for external timing crystals by developing a technique for building high-grade thin film piezoelectric bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators within the ...
