A quartz crystal’s electrical equivalent model is that of a series tuned circuit in parallel with a capacitor, giving it some of the properties of both a parallel and a series tuned circuit.

The equivalent circuit of the quartz crystal appears like a series-parallel RLC circuit as shown below. Depending upon the circuit features, the crystal can act as a capacitor, an inductor, a ...

In comparison, the crystal oscillator is very simple and depends heavily on the very high “Q” quartz crystal resonator as the sole frequency-determining element shown in Figure 1c.. Both MEMS ...

A quartz crystal's case will be stamped with the devices' rated operating frequency, but that number is only an approximation to the real story which is that there is more than one crystal resonant ...
