Crystals

Crystals, fundamental components in modern electronics, are pivotal in ensuring precise frequency control and timing accuracy across a multitude of devices. Primarily made from quartz due to its exceptional piezoelectric properties, these crystals convert mechanical vibrations into stable electrical signals, making them indispensable in both consumer and industrial applications. Oscillation crystals come in various types, each tailored to specific frequency ranges and performance requirements. They are characterised by their high-frequency stability, low-phase noise, and durability, which contribute to their reliable performance in demanding environments.
