**1. The Difference Between Crystal and Crystal Oscillator**
A crystal oscillator is an active component, also known as an oscillator, while a crystal is a passive component, often referred to as a resonator. The main difference lies in their functionality and application. A crystal (passive) is typically a two-pin device that requires an external clock circuit to generate oscillation. It's commonly available in packages like 49U or 49S. On the other hand, a crystal oscillator (active) is usually a four-pin device with built-in circuitry that generates a stable signal when powered. Common package sizes include 7050, 5032, 3225, and 2520.
**2. MEMS Silicon Crystal Oscillators vs. Quartz Crystal Oscillators**
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) silicon crystal oscillators are made using advanced semiconductor technology, offering several advantages over traditional quartz oscillators. These include:
- Fully automated manufacturing at the chip level, eliminating air-tightness issues.
- Built-in temperature compensation for stability across -40°C to 85°C.
- A mean time between failures of up to 500 million hours.
- 25 times better shock resistance compared to quartz.
- Supports frequencies from 1 MHz to 800 MHz with high precision.
- Compatible with multiple voltages such as 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V, and 3.3V.
- Available in various frequency tolerances (10ppm, 20ppm, etc.).
- Can be directly replaced with quartz oscillators without design changes.
- Supports different output types including differential, single-ended, VCXO, and TCXO.
- Rapid market growth expected to replace over 80% of quartz oscillators within three years.
**3. Equivalent Circuit of a Crystal Resonator**
The equivalent circuit of a crystal resonator is used to model its impedance behavior around the resonant frequency. It consists of:
- C1: Dynamic capacitor (equivalent series capacitance)
- L1: Dynamic inductor (equivalent series inductance)
- R1: Dynamic resistance (equivalent series resistance)
- C0: Static capacitor (equivalent parallel capacitance)
There are two key frequencies in this model: the series resonant frequency (Fr) and the anti-resonant frequency (Fa). When used in a circuit, the crystal operates between these two frequencies, depending on the load capacitance and the circuit’s reactance.
**4. Key Parameters of Crystals**
- **Nominal Frequency**: The specified frequency of the crystal, which users aim for in their designs.
- **Frequency Tolerance**: The maximum allowable deviation from the nominal frequency, often expressed in ppm (parts per million).
- **Temperature Drift**: The frequency change due to temperature variations, measured in ppm.
- **Aging Rate**: The gradual frequency drift over time, influenced by internal factors.
- **Resonant Resistance (Rr)**: The resistance at the resonant frequency, affecting the quality factor (Q).
- **Load Resistor (RL)**: The resistance seen by the crystal when connected with a load capacitor.
- **Load Capacitance (CL)**: The external capacitance that influences the operating frequency.
- **Static Capacitance (C0)**: The parallel capacitance of the crystal.
- **Dynamic Capacitance (C1)**: The series capacitance that affects the resonant frequency.
- **Inductance (L1)**: The inductive element in the dynamic branch of the equivalent circuit.
- **Resonant Frequency (Fr)**: The natural frequency of the crystal.
- **Load Resonance Frequency (FL)**: The frequency at which the crystal operates with an external load.
- **Quality Factor (Q)**: A measure of the crystal’s efficiency and stability.
- **Drive Level**: The power applied to the crystal, which can affect frequency and resistance.
- **DLD (Drive Level Dependency)**: The variation in performance based on excitation level.
- **DLD2**: The difference in load resonance resistance at different drive levels.
- **RLD2**: The average load resonance resistance across various drive levels.
- **Spurious Response**: Unwanted frequency responses that need to be minimized through design.
**5. Types of Crystal Oscillators**
- **SPXO (Standard Package Quartz Oscillator)**: No temperature control or compensation.
- **TCXO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator)**: Uses a temperature compensation circuit.
- **VCXO (Voltage-Controlled Crystal Oscillator)**: Output frequency is modulated by an external voltage.
- **OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator)**: Maintains a constant temperature for high stability.
With advancements in technology, additional variants such as PLL-based and digitally controlled oscillators are becoming increasingly common.
