The EMXO is smaller than other components, uses less power, and offers other advantages for designers trying to meet the tough demands of space systems. Why EMXOs, though less well known than OCXOs, ...

I have been experimenting with passive crystal oscillators for over two decades, but while looking around, came across some great articles on active crystal oscillators. Last year I got a few ...

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.

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 ...

Evaluate new oscillators in the engineering lab prior to production. Measurements include frequency, jitter, phase noise, rise time, fall time, input current, output power, and stability. Perform ...

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 ...
