18QHTF21-10.100-OE

Overview

The 18QHTF21-10.100-OE is a 10.1 MHz crystal oscillator manufactured by Mercury Electronics Ind. Co., Ltd. It utilizes LVCMOS output logic and operates at a supply voltage of 1.8V. The device features an enable/disable control function for power management. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead surface-mount package, designed for integration into space-constrained electronic circuits requiring precise clock signals.

Feature Summary

• Supports LVCMOS output logic levels
• Includes enable and disable control functionality
• Utilizes a lead-free surface-mount package

Applications

• General-purpose digital clock generation
• Embedded system timing references
• Consumer electronics circuit synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance and load capacitance requirements against your circuit design before ordering. Confirm that the 1.8V supply voltage aligns with your system's power rails. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions provided in the official datasheet to guarantee proper soldering and mechanical stability during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage 1.8V operation is required alongside standard LVCMOS compatibility. The enable/disable feature makes it suitable for battery-powered applications where power conservation is critical. Consider the physical size constraints of the 4-SMD package relative to other available oscillator footprints in your design layout.

Part Context

This model belongs to the QHTF series of surface-mount oscillators from Mercury Electronics. The series is characterized by its use of quartz technology for stable frequency generation. The 'OE' suffix typically denotes a specific packaging or tape-and-reel configuration, while the numeric prefix indicates the operating voltage level within the product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 18QHTF21-65.300-OE and 18QHTF21-8.300-OE from the same manufacturer, though these operate at different frequencies. When replacing, ensure the new part maintains the same 1.8V supply requirement and LVCMOS output characteristics to preserve circuit compatibility.
