[Paul] likes a precise oscillator. His recent video shows a crystal oscillator with a “watch crystal” and a CMOS counter, the CD4060. Using such a circuit can produce very stable frequencies and since ...

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 ...

Starting a crystal oscillator fast in an IoT node is an art: the high Q needed for stability means they take milliseconds to get going, just to transmit a 128μs Bluetooth LE packet, and power is at a ...

Another great crystal oscillator circuit with BB139, a 2-nd harmonic quartz crystal and one BF214 transistor. So, the Q quartz is half of the desired transmitter frequency, L1 has 24 turns, 0.08mm Ø ...

Said to consume 10 times less power than comparable circuits, the EM7604 CMOS crystal oscillator is intended for use with a 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal as a low-frequency clock oscillator with no ...

The evolution of precision clocks. The tradeoffs between MEMS vs. crystal oscillators. The manufacture and cost issues involved. Almost every electronic device you can imagine depends on a precision ...

Crystal oscillators are incredibly useful components, but they come with one little snag: their oscillation is temperature-dependent. For many applications the relatively small deviation is not a ...
