Compared to ceramic oscillator crystal oscillators are ___________(a) Less reliable(b) Less costly(c) More accurate(d) They are sameThis question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question comes from Crystal Oscillator-2 topic in section Oscillators of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) More accurate

Explanation: Quartz(crystal) oscillators are able to OSCILLATE with DESIRED frequency, with LITTLE needed power to operate it. The frequency is stable for a WIDE range of TEMPERATURE with minimal frequency change around 0.001% while the same is 0.5% for a ceramic oscillator. The phenomenon of operation is almost the same though.
