18QHTF21-106.500-OE

Overview

The 18QHTF21-106.500-OE is a standard crystal oscillator (XO) manufactured by Mercury Electronics Ind. Co. Ltd. It operates at a fixed frequency of 106.5 MHz and utilizes LVCMOS output logic levels. The device is designed for low-voltage applications, requiring a supply voltage of 1.8V. It features integrated enable and disable functionality to control power consumption. The component is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, suitable for surface-mount assembly on printed circuit boards.

Feature Summary

• LVCMOS output interface for digital signal compatibility
• Integrated enable and disable control capability
• Low voltage operation at 1.8V supply

Applications

• Timing and clock signal generation in electronic devices
• Digital system synchronization
• Consumer electronics timing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance and load capacitance requirements against your design specifications before procurement. Confirm that the 1.8V supply voltage aligns with your system's power rails. Ensure the 4-SMD No Lead package footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Check for any specific operating temperature range limitations defined in the official datasheet for your application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this oscillator when a precise 106.5 MHz clock source is required with low power consumption. The LVCMOS output is suitable for direct interfacing with standard digital logic families. Consider the enable/disable feature if power management during idle states is necessary. Verify that the 1.8V operating voltage is compatible with your target microcontroller or FPGA I/O standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 18QHTF21 series of standard crystal oscillators from Mercury Electronics. The series offers various frequencies and supply voltages. The 'OE' suffix typically denotes a specific packaging or tape-and-reel configuration, distinct from other variants like 'PD'. This model provides a stable clock reference for high-speed digital systems requiring precise timing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 18QHTF21-106.500-PD, which shares the same electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging format. Other frequency variants within the 18QHTF21 series can be considered if frequency adjustments are permissible. Always verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance when replacing components.
