Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact output type and electrical characteristics, as ordering codes may denote variations in performance or packaging. Ensure the selected variant matches the required supply voltage and temperature range for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a differential LVDS output is required for noise immunity in high-frequency applications. Compare the ±50ppm pull range against system jitter requirements. Consider the 7.00mm x 5.00mm footprint for PCB layout constraints relative to smaller 5x3.2mm alternatives in the same series.
