18QHTF21-60.600-OE

Overview

The 18QHTF21-60.600-OE is a standard crystal oscillator manufactured by Mercury Electronic Ind. Co., Ltd. It operates at a frequency of 60.6 MHz and utilizes LVCMOS output logic. The device functions with a supply voltage of 1.8V and includes enable/disable control capabilities. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, designed for surface-mount applications requiring precise timing signals.

Feature Summary

• Supports LVCMOS output logic for digital interface compatibility
• Features integrated enable and disable functionality for power management
• Utilizes a leadless SMD package for automated surface-mount assembly

Applications

• Digital signal processing systems
• Communication equipment clocking
• Embedded controller timing references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency tolerance and load capacitance requirements against the system design specifications before procurement. Confirm that the 1.8V supply voltage aligns with the target circuit's power rails. Ensure the 4-SMD no-lead footprint matches the PCB land pattern to guarantee proper solder joint formation and mechanical stability during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage 1.8V supply is required for timing generation. The LVCMOS output is suitable for direct interfacing with standard digital logic families. Consider the leadless package type for high-density board layouts where space constraints are critical. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application.

Part Context

This oscillator belongs to the Mercury Electronics 18QHTF21 series, which provides standard clock signals in a small form factor. The series is designed for general-purpose timing applications in consumer and industrial electronics. Mercury Electronics leverages its expertise in quartz crystal manufacturing to produce reliable frequency control products.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with identical pinouts and electrical characteristics but different frequencies, such as the 18QHTF21-50.256-OE or 18QHTF21-86.600-OE. Ensure any replacement maintains the 1.8V supply and LVCMOS output requirements.
