18QHTF21-59.600-OE

Overview

The 18QHTF21-59.600-OE is a standard crystal oscillator (XO) manufactured by Mercury Electronics Ind. Co. Ltd. It operates at a fixed frequency of 59.6 MHz and utilizes LVCMOS output logic. The device is designed for a supply voltage of 1.8V and features an Enable/Disable control function for power management. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, suitable for surface-mount applications requiring precise timing signals.

Feature Summary

• Supports active enable and disable control states for power optimization
• Delivers LVCMOS output logic levels for digital interface compatibility
• Utilizes a leadless SMD package design for automated assembly

Applications

• Digital signal processing systems requiring clock synchronization
• Communication equipment utilizing standard frequency references
• Embedded controllers needing low-voltage timing sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'OE' against official Mercury Electronics documentation to confirm the Enable/Disable functionality. Ensure the 1.8V supply requirement matches the target circuit design. Confirm the 4-SMD no-lead footprint dimensions against the PCB layout specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 59.6 MHz reference with LVCMOS outputs is required. The 1.8V operating voltage dictates compatibility with low-power digital logic families. The Enable/Disable feature makes it suitable for battery-operated or power-sensitive designs compared to always-on oscillators.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 18QHTF21 series of standard crystal oscillators from Mercury Electronics. The series offers various frequencies with consistent LVCMOS outputs and 1.8V operation. The 18QHTF21-59.600-OE specifically provides the 59.6 MHz variant with active control capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 59.6 MHz frequency, LVCMOS output type, 1.8V supply, and 4-SMD no-lead package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics if replacing with components from other manufacturers.
