 INTRODUCTION
 DEFINITION:

The crystal oscillator is defined as

electronic oscillator circuit that uses Piezo electric
crystal as frequency selective element.
 A crystal oscillator circuit is made up of an
amplifier feedback network, the quartz crystal is
connected in feedback loop, while amplifier
output is feedback to crystal.
 TYPES OF CRYSTALL OSCILLATOR
 pierce oscillator
 Colpitts oscillator
 Clapp oscillator
 Miller oscillator
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
 WORKING OF CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
Bipolar transistor (or) FET are used in construction of crystal oscillator circuit.
Because of operational amplifiers can be used in the different low frequency oscillator circuit.
Its below 100kHZ, but operational amplifiers do not have the bandwidth to operate.
It will be a problem at the higher frequencies that are matched to crystals which are above
1MHZ.
In this oscillator, the Lc tank circuit that provides the feedback oscillation as been replaced by
the quartz crystal.
Crystal oscillator circuit usually works on the principle of inverse piezo electric effect.
Quartz crystal oscillator are highly stable.
