Most hobbyists are familiar with crystals and crystal oscillators, but few know how they work and how to properly set them up in their projects. This post covers some points that I intend to share to ...

Research from all publishers Recent investigations into low-power crystal oscillator design have demonstrated significant progress in both performance and integration.

When it came time to try out some old-school computing [Quinn Dunki] grabbed a 6502 processor and got to work. For those that are unfamiliar, this is the first chip that was both powerful ...

Small but Mighty The quartz crystal employed in a crystal oscillator may seem mundane, but it’s a precision piezoelectric component machined to stringent tolerances.

In comparison, the crystal oscillator is very simple and depends heavily on the very high “Q” quartz crystal resonator as the sole frequency-determining element shown in Figure 1c.

Like many people who repair stuff, [Learn Electronics Repair] has an oscilloscope. But after using it to test a motherboard crystal oscillator, he started thinking about how people who don’t … ...

Mixed-Signal Devices Inc. Introduces the Industry’s Highest Performance Crystal Oscillator (XO) Family with 25 fs of Jitter for Frequencies up to 2 GHz ...

Some applications require more timing accuracy than a simple 32.768-kHz crystal can provide. With a little ingenuity, it's possible to fashion a custom divider from a high-precision 10-MHz source that ...
