The Designer’s Guide to: Common Considerations When Selecting a MHz Crystal

Jan. 29, 2025
Billions of crystals are manufactured annually to be used in virtually every electronic device. From mobile phones and fitness trackers to cars and cell towers, crystals are the heartbeat of products we depend on daily.

Crystals are the fundamental building block of electronic oscillator circuits that create an electrical signal with precise frequency. This frequency is often used to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers. It’s important to be aware of a variety of technical specifications when selecting the best MHz crystal for your design. This resource provides insights on specifications and other notable technical tips.
