[Kerry Wong] recently got himself a frequency counter. Not just any counter, a classic Hewlett-Packard 5350B Microwave Counter. This baby will go 10Hz all the way up to 20GHz with only one input shift ...

Most hobbyists are familiar with crystals and crystal oscillators, but few know how they work and how to properly set them up in their projects. This post covers some points that I intend to share to ...

I am trying to hook up a crystal oscillator to a PIC mcu, along with two pf ceramic capacitors.<BR><BR>Every diagram I have come accross uses two-pin crystal ...

When it came time to try out some old-school computing [Quinn Dunki] grabbed a 6502 processor and got to work. For those that are unfamiliar, this is the first chip that was both powerful, affordable, ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

X-REL Semiconductor has broadened its clock and timing product line by introducing a low-power, small foot-print crystal oscillator driver, XTR60010. X-REL Semiconductor has broadened its clock and ...

To ensure the authenticity of the Galileo navigation messages, the Open Service navigation message authentication (OSNMA) mechanism requires a loose synchronization between the receiver clock and the ...

The EMXO is smaller than other components, uses less power, and offers other advantages for designers trying to meet the tough demands of space systems. Why EMXOs, though less well known than OCXOs, ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel ...
