12.94446

Overview

The Geyer Electronic America, Inc. model 12.94446 is a ceramic surface-mount oscillator operating at 27 MHz with HCMOS output. It supports a supply voltage range of -0.5V to 7V and features tri-state output enable functionality. The device draws a maximum supply current of 11mA during operation and reduces to 50µA in disabled mode. Frequency stability is rated at ±50ppm across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The component utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a maximum height of 0.80mm.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable clock generation using a ceramic resonator base for reliable timing applications
• Features tri-state output control allowing flexible integration into various digital logic systems
• Supports wide supply voltage input ranges compatible with diverse circuit designs

Applications

• General purpose clock signal generation for microcontrollers
• Synchronization circuits in consumer electronics
• Timing references in industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance and load capacitance requirements against your system design before procurement. Confirm that the 4-SMD package dimensions align with your PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for electrical characteristics to guarantee compatibility with your voltage levels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective ceramic oscillator is required instead of a quartz crystal. Consider the ±50ppm stability limit for applications not requiring high precision. Evaluate the power consumption profile if battery life is critical. Verify that the HCMOS output swing matches the input thresholds of the receiving logic gates.
