11.0592 MHZ Crystal Oscillator (2-pin)

1. Frequency Accuracy: Crystal oscillators are known for their high-frequency accuracy and stability. They provide a reliable reference clock signal for timing-sensitive applications.

2. Compact Size: Crystal oscillators with 2 pins are typically small and easy to integrate into printed circuit boards (PCBs).

3. Two-Pin Configuration: These oscillators have two pins (usually labeled as "OUT" and "GND" or "VCC" and "GND") for connection to the circuit. They are straightforward to use and connect.

4. Low Jitter: Crystal oscillators produce low jitter signals, making them suitable for applications that require precise timing, such as microcontroller-based systems and communication devices.

Applications:

1. Microcontroller Clock Source: Crystal oscillators are commonly used as the clock source for microcontrollers and microprocessors. They provide the necessary timing for executing instructions and maintaining accurate system time.

2. Communication Systems: Crystal oscillators are used in communication equipment, including radios, transceivers, and network devices, to generate carrier frequencies and synchronize data transmission.

3. Digital Electronics: These oscillators are used in digital logic circuits, including counters, timers, and frequency dividers, to generate clock signals for digital components.

4. Real-Time Clocks (RTCs): Crystal oscillators can be used as the clock source for real-time clock modules, ensuring accurate timekeeping in devices such as alarm clocks and data loggers.

5. Frequency Synthesis: Crystal oscillators serve as stable reference frequencies for phase-locked loops (PLLs) and frequency synthesizers, allowing the generation of multiple frequencies.

6. Measurement Instruments: Oscilloscopes, signal generators, and other test and measurement equipment use crystal oscillators for accurate timebase and signal generation.
