"Mystical" Quartz Crystals?Surprisingly Practical: Maintaining Stable Frequencies Producing Steady Reference Signals
Because crystal devices such as quartz crystal units and quartz crystal oscillators have high
stability against an environment change such as temperature, they are used as frequency
control devices in electronic circuits. From smartphones, digital still cameras, automobiles,
medical devices, to Ubiquitous Network, the product category for crystal devices are becoming
wider.
Roles of quartz crystal units and oscillators can be further summarized as follows:
As a core part in electronics, quartz crystal components are used across a wide range of
products. On average, a single digital camera incorporates three quartz crystal components.
And as electronics gain more features or more advanced features, they are likely to use more
quartz crystal components. The market for quartz crystal components is all but certain to
continue expanding.
