Can you imagine a car without steering wheel? A tower clock without a clock face? Hardly! Although both examples involve only one of many components, they are indispensable for the product as a whole. The same applies to quartz crystals in electronic applications.
The quartz the heart of many electronic applications, “sets the pace”. Despite its central function, this product is often regarded as a standard component. Nevertheless, it is worth taking a closer look at the world of crystals. This whitepaper covers the physical basics of quartz crystals as well as the different steps in the production process. The choice of the right quartz crystal and the correct layout in the circuit are also covered in detail.
Here's what you can expect:
