Crystal Oscillator Circuit. It consists of ic 4060 and ic 4013 the ic 4060 single acting oscillator and counter. A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that is used for the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material.
Crystal s internal series resistancer 17 4 2. The crystal oscillators are therefore used whenever great stability is needed for example in communication trans mitters and receivers digital clocks etc. Load impedance across the crystal terminals 18 4 3.
Decreasing the emitter resistor of q2 boosts the harmonic output.
In some instances crystal oscillators may be used to provide a cheap clock signal for use in a digital or logic circuit. Crystal oscillator circuit and working. The crystal usually quartz has a high degree of stability in holding con stant at whatever frequency the crystal is originally cut to operate. Crystal s internal series resistancer 17 4 2.
