Crystal Oscillator
It is an Electronic Oscillator that uses a resonating piezoelectric Crystal as a "frequency-selective element".
A commonly used crystal is Quartz.
Uses
The oscillator frequency is often used to:
- Keep track of time, in quartz wristwatches
- To provide a stable clock, in digital ICs
- To stabilize frequencies for RF transmitters and recievers
