YXC programmable oscillator, frequency 22.578MHz, working voltage 3.3V, used in game consoles

A game console is an electronic device specially used for running games. It runs games through external carriers (such as compact discs, cassettes, etc.). Unlike multi-functional devices such as computers and mobile phones, game consoles focus on gaming experience and have more powerful gaming performance and image processing capabilities, making games run more smoothly, high-definition and realistically.


The role of crystal oscillators in game consoles is to provide stable clock signals for various components such as CPU, GPU, audio processor, etc. to ensure the normal operation of the game console and the quality of the gaming experience.

1. CPU clock synchronization: The central processing unit (CPU) of the game console needs a stable clock signal to synchronize its internal operation and ensure the coordinated work of various components. The crystal oscillator provides such a clock signal to ensure the stable operation of the CPU, thereby ensuring the smoothness and performance of the game.
2. Graphics processor (GPU) clock synchronization: The graphics processor (GPU) of the game console is responsible for processing the graphics and visual effects in the game. The clock signal provided by the crystal oscillator is used to synchronize the work of the GPU to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of graphics rendering and display.
3. Audio processor clock synchronization: The audio processor in the game console is responsible for processing the sound effects and sound effects in the game. The clock signal provided by the crystal oscillator is also used to synchronize the work of the audio processor to ensure audio synchronization and clarity.
4. Game data transmission timing: Game consoles transmit and exchange game data through various interfaces (such as HDMI, USB, Ethernet, etc.). The clock signal of the crystal oscillator is used to control the timing of data transmission to ensure accurate transmission and reception of game data.
5. Memory control: The memory in the game console (such as memory and memory card) requires a stable clock signal to ensure that data reading and writing operations can proceed smoothly. The clock signal provided by the crystal oscillator is used to control the read and write operations of the memory, improving the loading speed and operating efficiency of the game.
