Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package orientation and pin configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required load capacitance and ESR specifications for the target circuit design. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with regional regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 24.576 MHz reference is required for space-constrained designs. The 12 pF load capacitance must align with the oscillator circuit's external capacitor values. Verify that the 50 Ohm ESR limit is compatible with the driving strength of the host microcontroller or logic gate to ensure reliable startup.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the TXC 8Z series of ceramic-packaged quartz crystals. It serves as a passive frequency-determining element in electronic circuits, distinct from active MEMS or CMOS oscillators. The series provides a cost-effective solution for general-purpose timing applications requiring moderate stability.
