The Difference between OCXO and TCXO Oscillators
A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical reverberation of a vibrating crystal (typically a quartz crystal) to create an electrical signal with precise frequency. It is often used for stabilization applications, to help keep track of time, and to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits. Environmental factors such as humidity, pressure, vibration and in particular, temperature, affect the precision of the crystal oscillator’s frequency. To limit their level of influence, modified crystal…
