Most hobbyists are familiar with crystals and crystal oscillators, but few know how they work and how to properly set them up in their projects. This post covers some points that I intend to share to ...

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 ...

For battery-powered circuits, it is easy to build an ultralow-current crystal oscillator designed around a 32.768-kHz crystal. This crystal is common for real-time-clock circuits. Because these ...

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 ...

A Pierce (crystal) oscillator intended to provide a reliable clock signal for at least 1 year when powered by battery voltages as low as 2.4 V. Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can ...
