I-crystal oscillator isebenzisa umphumo we-piezoelectric wekristale ye-quartz. Ngokusebenzisa ulwakhiwo oluthile lwesekethe, ibangela ukuba ikristale ingcangcazele ngamaxesha athile. Lo mzuzu uzinzile kwaye awuchatshazelwa lula yimeko yangaphandle. I-Crystal oscillators inokusetyenziswa njengeereferensi zamatyeli kwizixhobo zombane, ibonelela ngemiqondiso echanekileyo yefrikhwensi kwezinye iisekethe.
