Today, the majority of electronic circuits (including microprocessors, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and CPLDs) are based on clocked logic, requiring a timing source. Depending on the frequency accuracy ...

Abstract: High-performance, low-phase-noise oscillators are heavily demanded by highthroughput and high-fidelity mm-wave wireless transceivers. After briefly introducing the oscillator's performance ...

When I was in college, I spent a lot of time in the library researching books when I needed information related to electronic devices. It is amazing how things have progressed and that all you need ...

Appropriately cut quartz crystals can be used as high-quality electromechanical resonators. Their piezoelectric properties (voltage across the crystal deforms it; deforming the crystal generates a ...

At SiTime, we often hear from many customers when they have crystal design issues such as cold startup failures, oscillator circuit problems from mismatched crystals, or failure to pass EMI tests.

To alleviate the drawbacks of quartz oscillator technology, classic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) materials are now being used to fabricate three-dimensional resonating structures. These ...

Abstract: This paper proposed a 3rd harmonic crystal oscillator that implemented in a BJT architecture with voltage loop tuning. The design integrated Negative Capacitance Field Effect Transistors ...
