Surface mount oscillators are oscillator devices which mount directly on the foil pattern surface of a PCB. Generally found in high frequency design and where space considerations are at a premium.
General term for oscillators that are used in circuits for the telecommunications industry. Includes applications in communications, radio, TV, telephone, the internet, networking, data transmission, etc.
Usually crystal oscillators which are tuned over temperature by a circuit to compensate for the natural temperature drift and frequency variations of the uncompensated oscillator.
Makes use of a tuning fork as the source of oscillation. Circuit may also use a pick-up coil and driving coil surrounding the fork. This type of oscillator is used for very stable low frequency applications–especially in quartz watches.
Type of crystal oscillator whose frequency can be changed by applying a controlling voltage to introduce a phase shift in the oscillating circuit.
High-stability piezoelectric ceramics function as mechanical resonators. When voltage is applied, the piezoelectric "vibration behavior" cause an oscillating signal. The thickness of the ceramic substrate determines the resonance frequency of the device.
