Pin Configuration

20MHz Crystal Oscillator - (Pack of 10) Documentation
The 20MHz crystal oscillator is a quartz crystal resonator that provides a stable clock signal for microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other digital circuits. This component is commonly used in IoT devices, embedded systems, and other electronic applications. Here is a detailed explanation of the pins and how to connect them:
Pinout:
The 20MHz crystal oscillator has two pins:
Pin 1:
Pin Name: Pin 1 (or GND)
Description: Ground pin, connected to the ground plane of the circuit
Function: Provides a reference point for the oscillator circuit and helps to stabilize the crystal's oscillation
Pin 2:
Pin Name: Pin 2 (or OUT)
Description: Output pin, providing a 20MHz clock signal
Function: Outputs a stable, sinusoidal clock signal at a frequency of 20MHz, which can be used as an input to a microcontroller or other digital device
Connection Structure:
To connect the 20MHz crystal oscillator to a microcontroller or other digital device, follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect Pin 1 (GND) to the Ground Plane
Connect Pin 1 to a ground plane or a dedicated ground pin on the microcontroller or other digital device.
Ensure a solid electrical connection to prevent noise and interference.
Step 2: Connect Pin 2 (OUT) to the Clock Input
Connect Pin 2 to the clock input pin on the microcontroller or other digital device.
Make sure to match the clock signal frequency requirements of the device with the 20MHz output frequency of the crystal oscillator.
Additional Considerations:
When handling the crystal oscillator, take care to avoid physical stress, such as bending or soldering, which can damage the internal crystal structure.
Ensure proper power supply decoupling and noise filtering in the surrounding circuit to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and noise from affecting the oscillator's performance.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a crystal oscillator with a load capacitance (CL) of 12-20 pF, depending on the specific application and microcontroller requirements.
Note: The above documentation is a general guide and may vary depending on the specific datasheet and application notes provided by the manufacturer. Always consult the datasheet and manufacturer's guidelines for specific connection and usage requirements.
