By unclejed613, “Well-Known Member” on Electro-Tech-Online. No matter how “digital” things get in modern consumer electronics, when it all comes down to it, after all of the digital magic is done, air must be moved for you to hear the results. An analog voltage and current must be applied to some type of device that displaces air. […]
How to Select the Proper Quartz Crystal to Meet Your Design’s Timing Budget
by IDT There are five timing budget parameters which influence the total system timing error of a quartz crystal and oscillator combination: frequency tolerance, frequency stability, aging, load capacitance; and oscillator accuracy. In this post, we will discuss the basic guidelines in selecting the proper quartz crystal to meet a design’s timing budget. Frequency Tolerance Also […]
