18QHTF21-8.832-OE

Overview

The 18QHTF21-8.832-OE is a standard crystal oscillator manufactured by Mercury Electronics Ind. Co. Ltd. It operates at a frequency of 8.832 MHz and utilizes LVCMOS output logic levels. The device supports a supply voltage of 1.8V and includes an enable/disable control function for power management. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, designed for surface-mount applications requiring precise timing signals.

Feature Summary

• LVCMOS output interface
• Enable/Disable control functionality
• Compact 4-SMD No Lead package

Applications

• General purpose clock generation
• Embedded system timing
• Consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Mercury Electronics documentation to ensure correct voltage and package specifications. Confirm that the OE suffix aligns with the required enable/disable feature set before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage 1.8V operation is required alongside an enable/disable pin for power efficiency. Ensure the LVCMOS output compatibility matches the receiving digital circuitry. Verify that the 4-SMD no lead footprint fits within the available PCB area constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Mercury Electronics XO series, which provides standard frequency oscillators. The brand has a history of manufacturing quartz crystals and frequency control products since 1973, establishing itself as a pioneer in the Taiwan quartz industry.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the 18QHTF21-24.8832-OE or 18QHTF21-59.648-OE if different frequencies are needed while maintaining the same package and electrical characteristics.
