How capacitors and resistors work with crystal oscillators

The matching capacitor of the crystal oscillator can be simply called "load capacitor". Imagine that this load capacitor is like a little assistant of the crystal oscillator, helping the crystal oscillator to start working.

Passive crystal classification and important parameters explanation

Equivalent model of crystal oscillator circuit: Quartz crystal is a piezoelectric device that can convert electrical energy and mechanical energy into each other. The energy conversion occurs at the resonant frequency point.

What are the common cutting processes for crystal oscillators

It is to cut at a certain angle to the crystal coordinate axis. There are many types of cuts. Because quartz is anisotropic, different cuts have different physical properties.

Crystal resonator structure

The crystal in the crystal resonator refers to quartz crystal, and its chemical formula is silicon dioxide SiO2. The characteristics of quartz are: small thermal expansion coefficient, high Q value, insulation, etc.

There are two main types of crystal oscillators: active crystal oscillators and passive crystal oscillators

Generally, crystal oscillators are divided into two types: active crystal oscillators and passive crystal oscillators. Active crystal oscillators are also called crystal oscillators, Oscillators; Passive crystal oscillators are also called passive crystals, Crystal, crystal resonators.

Tips for crystal oscillator circuit design, essential skills for engineers!

As an indispensable signal transmitter in the clock circuit, the crystal oscillator is needed for the microcontroller to operate normally. Therefore, the participation of crystal oscillators is also indispensable in the design of electronic circuits. A good crystal oscillator circuit design can provide the best space utilization for electronics and play the greatest functional role.
