Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (OE) against official Mercury Electronics documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure the 1.8V supply requirement aligns with system design constraints. Confirm package dimensions match PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage 1.8V operation is required alongside standard LVCMOS compatibility. The enable/disable feature supports power-sensitive designs. Verify that the 16.601 MHz frequency meets system clock requirements and that the small form factor fits within spatial constraints.

Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the 18QHTF series of surface-mount oscillators from Mercury Electronics. The series typically offers various frequencies and voltage options. The OE suffix denotes a specific configuration within this product line, distinct from other variants like PD or different frequency codes.

Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 16.601 MHz LVCMOS oscillators in 4-SMD packages with 1.8V supply and enable pins. Verify electrical parameters such as load capacitance and drive strength. Cross-reference with Mercury United Electronics equivalents if available.
