The circuit was designed to create a frequency convert with the use of a crystal oscillator for the conversion of 10 MHz to 1 MHz. 7404 – a hex inverter utilizing TTL to achieve high speed at nominal ...

Crystals usually operate at fundamental frequencies up to about 15 MHz. Whenever higher frequencies are required a frequency multiplier is placed after the crystal oscillator. The resulting output ...

Appropriately cut quartz crystals can be used as high-quality electromechanical resonators. Their piezoelectric properties (voltage across the crystal deforms it; deforming the crystal generates a ...

Oscillators may use crystals as precise tuned circuits. If you have a vector network analyzer (VNA) — or even some basic test equipment — you can use it to learn the parameters of a crystal. [All ...

MALVERN, Pa., Jan. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To simplify the sourcing process for its customers, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that the company’s Inductors Division has ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

Historically when hams built low power (QRP) transmitters, they’d use a crystal to set the frequency. Years ago, it was common to find crystals in all sorts of radios, including scanners and handheld ...
