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 ...

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 ...

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 own a ...

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