Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors to ensure compliance with TXC specifications. Confirm that the 4-SMD package dimensions align with your PCB footprint library prior to assembly. Check current lifecycle status as availability may vary by region. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements to maintain long-term reliability during soldering processes.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 16.384 MHz timing source is required for synchronous digital logic. The 12 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit design parameters to achieve the specified 30 ppm tolerance. Consider the 4-SMD form factor for automated surface-mount assembly lines. Evaluate thermal performance against the operational temperature range to ensure consistent frequency stability in the target application environment.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the 7M series of crystals from TXC Corporation, designed for surface-mount technology implementations. The series focuses on providing standardized frequencies for common digital applications. The 7M-16.384MAAE-T specifically addresses the need for a reliable, low-profile timing element in modern electronic assemblies where space efficiency and manufacturing automation are prioritized over traditional through-hole mounting methods.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 16.384 MHz SMD crystals with matching 12 pF load capacitance and 30 ppm tolerance. Verify package compatibility with the existing 4-SMD footprint. Cross-reference electrical characteristics such as ESR and drive level to ensure circuit stability is maintained without modification.
