Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required load capacitance and tolerance levels. Confirm that the selected variant matches the target application's frequency stability requirements and physical size constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications against system design parameters before finalizing procurement decisions.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32 MHz reference signal is required with moderate stability needs. Consider the 10 pF load capacitance requirement for circuit matching. Evaluate the 80 Ohm ESR against the oscillator circuit's driving capability. Ensure the 1.6x1.2 mm package fits within the designated PCB area without interfering with adjacent components.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the 8Q series of crystals manufactured by FTS. The series offers various frequencies and package sizes tailored for different electronic applications.
