What is Crystal Oscillator ?


Crystal Oscillator Definition


A crystal oscillator is defined as a device that uses the inverse piezoelectric effect to convert vibrations into stable oscillations.

Working Principle


The oscillator works by applying an alternating voltage to a crystal, causing it to vibrate at its natural frequency.


 

Circuit Design


Crystal oscillators are designed to operate in series-resonant mode (low impedance) or parallel-resonant mode (high impedance).
