500 KHz Ceramic Resonator

A ceramic resonator is often used in place of quartz crystals as a reference clock or signal generator in electronic circuitry due to its low cost and smaller size. The lower Q and higher frequency range achievable can be beneficial in the use of TCXOs, temperature-compensated crystal oscillators. They are used in timing circuitry for a wide array of applications such as TVs, VCRs, automotive electronic devices, telephones, etc.
