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

The idea for this crystal tester circuit sprung out of the need of testing a large number of oscillator crystals lying unused in a big hobby box. testing the crystals one by one without the ...

The circuit is a triangle waveform generator that uses as few parts as possible. A 555 timer IC, 2 resistors and two capacitors make the triangle wave. The IC is connected in a 50% duty-cycle astable ...

Said to consume 10 times less power than comparable circuits, the EM7604 CMOS crystal oscillator is intended for use with a 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal as a low-frequency clock oscillator with no ...

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 ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Bulk-acoustic-wave resonators can replace quartz-crystal oscillators to enhance performance and reliability while minimizing supply-chain issues. Devices ranging from ...

Like many people who repair stuff, [Learn Electronics Repair] has an oscilloscope. But after using it to test a motherboard crystal oscillator, he started thinking about how people who don’t own a ...

Since their invention more than a century ago, crystal oscillators have been foundational to electronic design. They allow for precise timekeeping for the clocks in computers as well as on our wrists, ...
