What is clock circuit made up of ?

Is quartz crystal resonator in clock circuit an oscillator? If not then what kind of analog or digital circuitary does the clock circuits in various computing devices are made up of?

    Yes, crystal oscillators are natural oscillators. In computing devices, its generally used with PLL's since the oscillation strength of the crystal is not very strong.

    its basically a capacitor phenomena where two plates differentiation concept,but here we do have a quartz crystal thin paper like material where it get suppressed as a piezoelectric effect as in vibration to get the desired oscillations.further reference go through the following sites....
