晶振的老化Aging指的是什么?
晶振老化率(英文Aging)
晶振老化率英文解釋:
The series resonance frequency of a crystal will change slowly over time. This is known as aging. Generally a frequency change of a few parts per million occurs over a period of years. The majority of the change usually occurs over the first year or two. Aging is often attributed to a crystal mass change versus time. The aging rate accelerates at higher temperatures and at higher oscillation amplitudes.
晶振的串聯諧振頻率會隨著時間慢慢變化,這就是所說的衰老。一般來說,一個百萬分之幾(ppm)的頻率變化發生在一段時間內。老化通常歸因于晶體質量隨時間的變化。如果晶振處于長時間較高溫度及較高振蕩幅度的工作狀態,其老化速率就會加快。
晶振年老化率ppm如何計算?
晶振的年老化率是指晶振在以年為時間單位的老化程度,用PPM表示(百萬分之一),比如晶振標稱年老化率在±5ppm,指的就是一年內晶振頻率的偏移在±5ppm以內。比如:晶諾威科技生產的石英晶體諧振器與石英晶體振蕩器的年老化率可以控制在最大±3ppm/年,而隨后每年老化率為±1ppm。
基于晶振的工作環境的差異,晶振的老化頻率偏移方向一般也不一樣。比如,標稱頻率為±10ppm的晶振,若年老化率為±3ppm/年(第一年),就是說,第二年的頻率范圍一般為“-7ppm~+13ppm”。
老化率越低就說明晶振的穩定性越高。相對來說,晶振第一年使用的時候老化率會比較高,以后逐步趨于穩定。
注:
Aging is estimated from environmental reliability tests and the expected amount of frequency variation over time. It is not intended as a guarantee of performance over the product-life cycle.
老化是根據環境可靠性測試和隨時間推移的預期頻率變化量來估計的。它不作為對產品生命周期內性能的保證。
