We are always glad to see [Ken Shirriff] tear into something new and this month he’s looking inside a quartz oscillator module. Offhand, you’d think there’s not much to these. A s… ...

Our hacker [Wil Carver] has sent in his submission for the One Hertz Challenge: Precise Time Ref via 1 Pulse-Per-Second GPS ...

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, ...

In a nutshell, a passive crystal oscillator is a non-polar electronic component that cannot oscillate itself, and requires a clock circuit to generate an oscillating signal. But an active crystal ...

Tradeoffs: MEMS vs. Crystal Oscillators Figures 1a and 1b show block diagrams of a MEMS oscillator and a crystal oscillator circuit. The MEMS oscillator is more complicated.

Hook up the output of your powered oscillator to OSC1 or OSC2, i dont remember which, check the datasheet.<BR><BR><BR>If you want to use what the schematic uses, you need to find some plain old 2 ...

X-REL Semiconductor has broadened its clock and timing product line by introducing a low-power, small foot-print crystal oscillator driver, XTR60010.

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