In what electronic device could I find a crystal oscillator?

Question

in what electronic device could i find acystal oscillator that has 14 pin and its 1.61 MHz

Answer 1

Crystal oscillators are found in quartz watches....but mostly found in radio transmitting equipment....

With a frequency of 1.61 MHz....I would assume some sort of ham radio equipment.

Answer 2

Electronic components to create an oscillator are notoriously unstable. Component tolerances are quite loose, and ambient conditions (like temperature) will affect their values. Subsequently, such oscillators will drift horribly in frequency. Feedback circuitry to compensate for such drift adds expense and size, and there is still lag time, however slight, for drift to be corrected. Crystals resonate due to their physical characteristics and since their construction doesn't change, they're much more reliable for frequency control. Other answers here have offered some examples where crystal oscillators are used.

Answer 3

All electronic devices with a microprocessor need a clock; which means: DVD players, MP3 players, PCs, gamers, etc.
(In many cases, they actually have 2-3 crystals)

You obviously have something very specific in mind. Most PCBs these days are surface-mounted, so even if you find a device, you may not be able to do much with the component.

I suggest you look into an electronics supplies store and find your component from there.
