Determination of the Oscillation Safety Factor (OSF) On GlobalSpec

From Jauch Quartz America, Inc.

To ensure a reliable operation of a crystal oscillator circuit, the oscillation safety factor (OSF)
is worth to take a closer look at. The oscillation safety factor (OSF) shows the feedback gain
margin of the oscillator amplifier for a worst case crystal according to its specification.
