Measuring Methods and Applications of Crystal Oscillator Frequency Error PPM

As a leading manufacturer of crystal oscillators, Shenzhen jingguanghua Electronics Co., Ltd. (JGHC) emphasizes the importance of Parts Per Million (PPM) analysis in ensuring the performance and reliability of our products.

What is PPM?

PPM stands for Parts Per Million, a metric used to express the frequency stability of crystal oscillators. It indicates how much the oscillator's output frequency can deviate from its nominal value. Lower PPM values signify better stability, which is crucial for many electronic applications.

Why PPM Analysis Matters

.Accuracy: Low PPM values are essential for applications that require precise timing, such as telecommunications and navigation systems.

.Quality Control: Regular PPM analysis helps us maintain high-quality standards in our manufacturing processes.

.Competitive Advantage: Offering crystal oscillators with superior PPM performance allows us to stand out in a crowded market.

Measurement Methods

To effectively measure PPM, we utilize several advanced techniques:

.Frequency Counter: Using high-precision frequency counters to measure the output frequency directly and compare it to the reference frequency.

.Phase-Locked Loop (PLL): Employing PLL systems to lock onto the oscillator's frequency and determine the frequency deviation.

.Time Interval Analyzer: Measuring the time intervals between signal cycles to identify variations and calculate the corresponding PPM values.
