WEET What Does OSC Mean for WQS-OSC3225 Crystal Oscillator
OSC is the abbreviation of Oscillator in English.
WQS-OSC3225 crystal oscillator usually refers to a crystal oscillator with a package size of 3.2*2.5mm, also known as clock oscillator.
Unlike resonators that require an oscillation circuit to be built, OSC (oscillator) already contains an oscillation circuit and can output frequency when powered on. The advantages of OSC active crystal oscillator are simple circuit application and stable output frequency. It is mainly used in mid-to-high-end digital smart devices: Bluetooth, wireless, communication devices, Internet of Things, smart equipment, automotive electronics, etc.

Is OSC an active crystal oscillator or a passive crystal oscillator?
Crystal oscillator belongs to the active series. It is an energy conversion device that can convert DC power into AC power with a certain frequency. The circuit it constitutes is called an oscillation circuit (Oscillation).
Crystal oscillators are generally surface-mount four-pin packages with a clock circuit inside. They only need power to generate oscillation signals (mainly CMOS square waves). Generally divided into several packaging forms such as OSC7050, OSC5032, OSC3225, OSC2520 and OSC2016.
WQS-OSC3225 active crystal oscillator features:
High precision and high frequency stability
