Appropriately cut quartz crystals can be used as high-quality electromechanical resonators. Their piezoelectric properties (voltage across the crystal deforms it; deforming the crystal generates a ...

The purpose of this document is to help the user understand how to design a good PCB layout with reducing noise performance. A thorough system evaluation is necessary after taking the countermeasures ...

Is the end of the quartz crystal near? Probably not. However, with the availability of new integrated bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) devices, crystals are going to be replaced in many clock and timing ...
