Quartz crystal resonators

Quartz crystal resonators:

Doubly rotated crystal selection:

The choice of which doubly rotated crystal cut to use is dependent upon a number of factors including the desired operating temperature.

FC-cut, IT-cut and SC-cut crystals have widely different lower and upper turning point temperatures and therefore the choice of crystal cut and oven temperature should be closely coordinated.

Type of cut Turn point Typical turning point
FC Upper +55°C to +75°C
IT Upper +85°C to +105°C
SC Lower +60°C to +80°C
SCM1 Lower +65°C to +85°C
SCM2 Lower +85°C to +100°C

 

See before table for ordering information:

Note that the nine digit CRYSTAL CODE addresses only the six parameters outlined above. Unless otherwise specified by the customer, the values of any additional parameters will be per the latest revision of MIL-PRF-3098.

If the crystal requirements cannot be fully described by the nine digit code, a unique deviation number will be assigned by the factory

Eg. A357DFE-32 @ 20M is translated as follows:

A = Fundamental mode of operation

35 = HC-35/U holder

7 = Four point mount for improved g-sensitivity

D = Calibration tolerance of +/-10ppm at the reference temperature

F = Temperature stability of +/-20 ppm, with respect to the frequency measured at the reference temperature

E = Temperature range of -15°C to +65°C, over which the temperature stability is effective

32 = When present, these two digits specify parallel resonance operation and the load capacitance in pF (i.e. 32pF)

20M = Nominal frequency of 20MHz
