Talk:Crystal oscillator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think these could all be merged: Timing crystal, Quartz oscillator, Crystal oscillator. If no one objects, I will put them all under Crystal oscillator. And maybe Quartz clock, also. - Omegatron 20:15, May 4, 2004 (UTC)

I guess quartz clock and crystal oscillator should be separate articles. One is a specific application of the other. I will move some material from each to the other, though. - Omegatron 15:16, May 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] mechanical steel filter

From the article: For example, steel is very elastic and has a high speed of sound. It was often used in mechanical filters before quartz.

What is a mechanical filter, how was that one used, what has it to do with oscillators? Thanks, --Abdull 09:32, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Only the quartz crystal or more

Is a crystal oscillator made up only by the single crystal and the feedback/amplifier, or does one still need additional components such as inductors and capacitors? --Abdull 10:14, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

I think all the other components would be considered part of the amplifier. - Omegatron 20:03, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
