Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between crystal resonator and crystal oscillator?

A crystal resonator (passive crystal) requires external oscillator circuitry to generate a clock signal, while a crystal oscillator (active crystal) contains the complete oscillator circuit inside and outputs a ready-to-use clock signal. Oscillators are easier to use but cost more and consume more power.

How do I select the right load capacitance for my crystal?

The load capacitance (CL) must match the crystal's specified value for accurate frequency. The total load capacitance is calculated as CL = (C1 × C2)/(C1 + C2) + Cstray, where Cstray is typically 3-5pF. Common values are 8pF, 10pF, 12pF, and 20pF.

What is AEC-Q200 qualification and why is it important for automotive?

AEC-Q200 is the automotive industry's standard for passive component qualification. It includes rigorous testing for temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and other stresses. Automotive applications require AEC-Q200 qualified parts to ensure reliability over the vehicle's lifetime.

What frequency stability do I need for my application?

Frequency stability requirements depend on your application: ±10-20ppm for general consumer electronics, ±20-30ppm for industrial applications, ±30-50ppm for automotive, and ±0.5-2.5ppm for precision timing or wireless communications.
