Doubts about one pin crystal design

[mitgrace]

Dear All :

I will design one-pin -crystal , the operation range is 2M~40M , Can it work ? Thanks, Any comments.

one-pin crystal

yes i dont see why not ...
sounds interesting for detectors and vibration alarm analysis
earthquake measure etc

you need to enclose it in a capacitance hat maybe close coupled

maybe just a relative ground made from a resistance accross the crystal
or a small transistor high gain gate
some adjustments to the shape of the wafer would be needed
many ideas spring to mind

One pin crystal

Dear VSNVDD :
If you do it , do u do amplitude regulation.
