Quartz crystal resonator, referred to as quartz crystal or crystal oscillator, is an electronic component that uses the piezoelectric effect of quartz crystal to generate high-precision oscillation frequency. Its parameters are crucial to understanding and applying this component.
以下是对石英晶体谐振器主要参数的详细介绍:


杭晶石英晶体谐振器系列:

nominal frequency
Refers to the frequency specified in the crystal component specification, that is, the ideal operating frequency desired by the user in circuit design and component purchase.
Adjust frequency difference
Maximum allowable deviation of the operating frequency from the nominal frequency at the reference temperature.
Quality factor (Q)
Quality factor, also known as mechanical Q value, is an important parameter that reflects the performance of the resonator. The larger the R1, the lower the Q value, the greater the power dissipation, and it will also lead to frequency instability. On the contrary, the higher the Q value, the more stable the frequency.
Resonant resistance RR
It refers to the equivalent resistance of the crystal element at the resonant frequency, which is approximately equal to the so-called dynamic resistance R1 or equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the crystal, regardless of the effect of C0.
This parameter controls the quality factor of the crystal element and also determines the oscillation level of the crystal in the applied circuit, thus affecting the stability of the crystal and whether it can be vibrated ideally.
Therefore, it is an important index parameter of crystal components. Generally, for a given frequency, the smaller the crystal box selected, the higher the average ESR may be;
In most cases, it is not possible to predict the resistance value of a specific crystal element during the manufacturing process, but only to ensure that the resistance will be lower than the maximum value given in the specification.
Load resonant resistance (RL)
Refers to the resistance of the crystal element in series with a specified external capacitor at the load resonant frequency FL. For a given crystal element, the load resonant resistance depends on the load capacitance value working with the element, and the resonant resistance after the load capacitance is connected in series is always greater than the resonant resistance of the crystal element itself.
Dynamic inductance (L1)
Inductance in the dynamic arm of an equivalent circuit. Dynamic inductance and dynamic capacitance are a pair of related quantities.
aging rate
Refers to the frequency drift due to time under specified conditions. This indicator is necessary for precision crystals, but it "does not have clear test conditions, but is continuously supervised by the manufacturer through planned sampling of all products. Some crystal elements may be worse than the specified level, which is allowed" (according to the IEC announcement). The best solution to the problem of aging can only be found through close consultation between the manufacturer and the user.
DLD
Drive level dependence. The degree of change in resistance and frequency of a crystal oscillator under different driving powers. This value can reflect the stability and reliability of the crystal oscillator.
excitation power
Drive level, also known as drive level, refers to the power consumption of the crystal resonator when the oscillation circuit is working. In order to ensure the normal operation of the crystal resonator, it must be kept within the specified range. Excessive drive level may cause unexpected changes in the frequency or ESR of the crystal, which may affect the performance of the circuit
TS
Load capacitance sensitivity, also called traction value. Indicates the amount of change in the crystal resonance frequency as the load capacitance changes. The unit is ppm/pF. Generally, the smaller the load capacitance, the larger the TS value. On the contrary, the larger the load capacitance, the smaller the TS value.

总结
The parameters of a quartz crystal resonator cover many aspects, including frequency characteristics, temperature characteristics, electrical characteristics, and long-term stability. Together, these parameters determine the performance and application range of the resonator. In practical applications, it is necessary to choose the appropriate resonator parameters according to specific needs.
