A comparison was made of the d.c. conductivity of KCI:Pb²⁺
and KCl:PbO single crystals at temperatures greater than 325°C.
The energy of activation was 0.72 ev for all crystals. Lead concentration
was determined by chemical, optical and electrical methods. The
half band width of the UV absorption band at 273...
An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery
powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...
