18QHTF21-60.003-OE

Overview

The 18QHTF21-60.003-OE is a quartz crystal oscillator manufactured by Mercury Electronics Ind. Co. Ltd. It operates at a nominal frequency of 60.003 MHz and utilizes LVCMOS output logic. The device is designed for a supply voltage of 1.8V and features an enable/disable control function. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, suitable for surface-mount applications requiring precise timing signals.

Feature Summary

• LVCMOS output interface
• Enable/Disable control functionality
• Surface-mount package

Applications

• General clock generation
• Digital signal processing systems
• Communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance and load capacitance requirements against your system design before procurement. Confirm that the 1.8V supply voltage aligns with your power rails. Ensure the enable/disable pin configuration matches your control logic to guarantee proper oscillator activation during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard LVCMOS clock source is required at approximately 60 MHz. Consider the 1.8V operating voltage and the need for software-controllable enable/disable features. Evaluate the 4-SMD footprint constraints against your PCB layout capabilities to ensure compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 18QHTF21 series of standard oscillators from Mercury Electronics. The series typically offers various frequencies within the LVCMOS format. The suffix OE indicates specific packaging or tape-and-reel options common in this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 18QHTF21 variants with matching frequencies such as 18QHTF21-60.000-OE if slight frequency deviation is acceptable. Cross-reference with similar 4-SMD LVCMOS oscillators from other manufacturers only if electrical parameters are identical.
