The circuit in Figure 1 seems utterly simple but demonstrates unusual behavior. It produces an almost square wave of odd-integer quartz harmonics, including its main frequency. You can determine the ...

SiTime, which is bringing MEMS (microelectromechanical-system)-based oscillators into volume production, aims to replace quartz as the frequency reference in clock and timing oscillators. The company ...

We are always glad to see [Ken Shirriff] tear into something new and this month he’s looking inside a quartz oscillator module. Offhand, you’d think there’s not much to these. A slab of quartz and ...

A strategic Alliance between Discera Inc. and Vectron International has led to the introduction of the first MEMS-based CMOS timing circuit that can directly replace traditional quartz crystal ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Precision frequency standards provide ...
