Its Achille’s heel in terms of accuracy is the plain crystal oscillator it uses as a frequency standard, which has no temperature compensation and thus drifts by about 0.2 ppm per degree.

With regard to retro test gear, one’s thoughts tend to those Nixie-adorned instruments of yore, or the boat-anchor oscilloscopes that came with their own carts simply because there was no other ...

The more stable the local oscillator, the longer the loop’s time constant can be, and the more effective the filtering. MEMS ...

SiTime Corporation recently announced a new family of µPower MEMS Oscillators for the wearable, IoT and mobile markets. The SiT8021 oscillator is the first device in this family. The company claims ...

MEMS is an acronym that stands for microelectromechanical systems – exceptionally small devices that incorporate mechanical, electrical, and frequently optical components on a single microchip. These ...

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has allowed the realization of cost-effective, high-performance deformable mirrors for adaptive-optics-enhanced imaging. The idea of using an array ...

Additionally, HCMOS oscillators may not be suitable for applications that require extremely high precision and low phase noise, where crystal oscillators or other specialized oscillators may be ...

CT20116 is a crystal oscillator that generates a low jitter 25MHz clock by mean of either an external crystal connected between pins XTALI/REFCLK_IN and XTALO or an external reference 25/50MHz clock ...

MEMS processing equipment is used to create micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors and wafers. MEMS processing equipment includes machinery and systems for the fabrication and micro-machining ...

Crystal skulls are not uncommon or terribly mysterious. Thousands are produced every year in Brazil, China, and Germany. But there are a handful of these rather macabre objects that have fueled ...

The right type (and amount) of salt can make or break a dish. Morton and Diamond Crystal are the most common brands of kosher salt you’ll find on shelves. Despite the name, they aren’t ...
