Additional Details

The F3160-64.000 crystal oscillator typically uses a quartz crystal as its frequency-determining element. The quartz crystal is precisely cut and lapped to resonate at the desired frequency. The oscillator circuit maintains the crystal's oscillation and provides a stable output signal.

The frequency stability of the oscillator is affected by factors such as temperature, supply voltage variations, and aging. The specified frequency stability of ±30 ppm indicates the maximum deviation from the nominal frequency over the operating temperature range.

It is commonly employed in applications requiring precise timing and frequency control, such as microcontrollers, communication systems, and industrial automation equipment. The oscillator's robust design and stable performance make it a reliable choice for demanding applications.
