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 ...

In our modern era, digital logic has become the core of all the electronics circuits either in the form of an FPGA, microcontroller, microprocessor, or discreet logic. Digital systems use many ...

At 40.0MHz the phase noise performance of IQD’s CFPS-115 crystal clock oscillator is -80dBc/Hz at 10Hz offset and -145dBc/Hz at 1kHz offset. Low power consumption is specified at 7mA. The device is ...

Crystal oscillators dominate the clock circuit space because of their superior precision, stability, and low cost. But Epson Toyocom offers some attractive alternatives. Its EG-4101/4121A ...

IQD has launched the IQXO-40x series 32.768kHz clock oscillators with a choice of three operating temperature ranges and frequency stabilities. Packaged in an industry standard, miniature 2.0 x 1.6 x ...

When it came time to try out some old-school computing [Quinn Dunki] grabbed a 6502 processor and got to work. For those that are unfamiliar, this is the first chip that was both powerful, affordable, ...

The crystals you’ll find attached to microcontrollers or RTCs are usually accurate to 100 parts per million at most, but that still means if you’re using one of these crystals as a clock’s time base, ...

Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can reliably start at supply voltages as low as 2.4 V. It also draws very low current, ensuring long battery life. Fig 2. An oscilloscope photo shows the ...

Starting a crystal oscillator fast in an IoT node is an art: the high Q needed for stability means they take milliseconds to get going, just to transmit a 128μs Bluetooth LE packet, and power is at a ...

The global crystal oscillator market size is estimated to reach $3.2 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2022. Crystal oscillator circuit is a resonating device that uses a ...
