I am trying to hook up a crystal oscillator to a PIC mcu, along with two pf ceramic capacitors.Every diagram I have come accross uses two-pin crystal oscillators, and they put the capacitors on ...

The core oscillator uses 8 mA from 3.3, 2.5, or 1.8V; overall power dissipation depends on what you drive with it. The footprint of the plastic package is compatible with industry-standard crystal ...

What follows is Part II, which will soon be followed with two more sections. In Part I of this article series, we discussed the basics of oscillation and gave an overview of different types of ...

Oven controlled oscillators keep the crystal at a stable temperature which in turn improves frequency stability. Depending on where you’re starting, adding an OCXO could improve your frequency ...

In comparison, the crystal oscillator is very simple and depends heavily on the very high “Q” quartz crystal resonator as the sole frequency-determining element shown in Figure 1c.. Both MEMS ...

[Martin Lorton] acquired a GPS-disciplined oscillator. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, so he did a little research and experimentation. If you have about two hours to spare, you can … ...

While most applications will use a crystal oscillator, two options may be a better fit for your design: ceramic resonators and surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonators. Ceramic resonators are ...
