components - Does the frequency of a crystal influence its height?


Here is a picture of two crystals: two crystals


Does the difference of frequency explain why the 6 MHz crystal on the right has a lower profile than the 5 MHz one ?



Answer



Influence, yes. Determine, no. For example, here's selection of shapes and sizes for the same spec crystals (and some ceramic resonators...)



Crystal packages


The frequency is determined by the size, shape and cut of the quartz crystal inside the package, as well as where the electrodes are placed on it.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
