Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main applications of crystals, oscillators, and resonators?
+

Crystals, oscillators, and resonators are commonly used in timing, frequency control, and clock generation applications in electronic devices.

How do I choose the right crystal for my project?
+

Consider factors like frequency stability, load capacitance, and operating temperature range when selecting a crystal for your project.

What is the difference between a crystal and an oscillator?
+

A crystal is a passive component that provides a stable frequency reference, while an oscillator is an active circuit that generates a periodic waveform.

Can I use a resonator instead of a crystal?
+

Resonators can be used as an alternative to crystals in some applications, but they generally offer lower precision and stability.

What is the typical lifespan of a crystal oscillator?
+

Crystal oscillators typically have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, depending on operating conditions and usage.
