Other Resonators/Vibrators

• Ceramic Resonators: Lower cost than crystals, moderate stability.
• MEMS Oscillators: Silicon-based, high shock resistance, programmable frequency.
• Tuning Fork Crystals: 32.768 kHz, used in real-time clocks (RTC).
• SAW Devices: Surface Acoustic Wave resonators, high-frequency applications.
• Vibrating Wire Sensors: Used in sensing (e.g., pressure, strain), based on mechanical resonance.
• LC Tanks: Inductor-Capacitor circuits for RF oscillations, lower Q than crystals.
• Piezoelectric Vibrators: For buzzers, haptics, and energy harvesting.
