581EL168X2CAT

Oscillators Overview

The 581EL168X2CAT is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by CTS-Frequency Controls. It operates at a nominal frequency of 16.8 MHz with an HCMOS output signal. The device supports a supply voltage of 3.3V and features a standby mode for power-down functionality. It is housed in an 8-SMD, no-lead surface-mount package with dimensions of 5.0mm x 3.2mm.

Oscillators Feature Summary

• Incorporates temperature compensation to maintain frequency stability across operating conditions.
• Provides HCMOS digital output signals suitable for high-speed digital circuits.
• Includes a standby function allowing the device to enter a low-power power-down state.

Oscillators Applications

• Communication systems requiring stable clock sources
• Portable electronic devices utilizing low-voltage operation
• Industrial control equipment needing reliable timing

Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output load requirements and supply voltage tolerance against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 3.3V HCMOS logic levels match the receiving circuit's input specifications. Ensure the 8-SMD package footprint aligns with the PCB design guidelines provided by the manufacturer.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-voltage TCXO with standby capability is required. The 16.8 MHz frequency and HCMOS output make it suitable for digital interfaces. Consider the 5.0mm x 3.2mm package size for space-constrained designs compared to larger oscillator packages.

Oscillators Part Context
