6 MHz 2 Pin Crystal Oscillator

A crystal oscillator designed as an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material. This material used to create an electrical signal with a constant frequency. This frequency often used to keep track of time, as in quartz wristwatches. Thus provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers. Meanwhile, these oscillator offers a wide range of applications. Such as computers, instrumentation, digital systems, in phase-locked loop systems, modems, marine, telecommunications, in sensors and also in disk drives.

The crystal oscillator circuit usually works based on the principle of the inverse piezoelectric effect. So in this, the applied electric field produces a mechanical deformation across some materials. Thus, it utilizes the vibrating crystal’s mechanical resonance, that made with a piezoelectric material for generating an electrical signal of a particular frequency.In general, we know that, in the design of microprocessors and microcontrollers, crystal oscillators are used for the sake of providing the clock signals. Moreover, this particular crystal oscillator offers a cycle rate at 455 KHz used to generate clock pulses that required for the synchronization of all the internal operations
