Specifying a quartz crystal for a VCXO
A popular application for the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator is the forming of a phase-locked loop. Designing the VCXO for this application requires a ‘pullable' quartz crystal.
A voltage-controlled crystal oscillator's (VCXO) output frequency changes in direct proportion to the application of an input control voltage. One of the most common uses for a VCXO is to form a phase-locked loop (PLL) to synchronize, translate (up or down), and/or de-jitter an input reference frequency.
