| Drive Level |
Drive level is the level of power dissipated in the crystal as a result of the operating circuit. Rated or test drive level is the power at which the crystal is specified and any deviation from the rated level will effect the crystal performance; therefor the actual drive level should reasonable duplicate that specified. AT - cut crystals generally can withstand a considerable overdrive without physical damage, however the electrical parameters are degrated at excessive drive |
