I am trying to hook up a crystal oscillator to a PIC mcu, along with two pf ceramic capacitors.<BR><BR>Every diagram I have come accross uses two-pin crystal ...

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 ...

Do high voltages affect the resonant frequency of a crystal? Honestly, we never thought about it, but [Joe] did and decided to risk his analyzer to find out. He started with some decidedly old-school ...

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 ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

Silicon Laboratories is offering a new class of oscillator as a frequency reference. The all-silicon Si500 series uses neither a MEMS (microelectromechanical-system) frequency system nor a crystal, ...
