AM-48.000MAGE-T

Crystals Overview

The AM-48.000MAGE-T is a surface-mount crystal oscillator manufactured by TXC Corporation, designed for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 qualification. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 48 MHz with a load capacitance of 12 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 60 Ohms. The component features a frequency tolerance of ±30 ppm and stability of ±50 ppm across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm x 0.80 mm, it supports reflow soldering processes suitable for high-volume production environments.

Crystals Feature Summary

• AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive reliability standards
• Fundamental mode operation for precise timing control
• Compact 4-SMD no-lead footprint for space-constrained designs

Crystals Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems
• Vehicle telematics units
• Engine control modules requiring stable clock references

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required load capacitance and tolerance specifications before procurement. Confirm that the supplier provides valid RoHS compliance documentation and AEC-Q200 certification records. Ensure the receiving facility handles moisture-sensitive devices according to recommended storage conditions to maintain performance integrity upon installation.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a fundamental mode crystal is required for automotive-grade timing applications. The 12 pF load capacitance must match the host circuit design requirements. Consider the 60 Ohm ESR value for impedance matching within the oscillator circuit. Verify that the 3.2x2.5 mm package dimensions fit the available PCB real estate constraints.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the AM series of automotive crystals from TXC Corporation. It is distinct from standard commercial oscillators due to its rigorous qualification under AEC-Q200 standards. The model specifically denotes a 48 MHz fundamental frequency crystal optimized for automotive electronic systems requiring high reliability and thermal stability.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AEC-Q200 qualified 48 MHz SMD crystals from TXC such as AA-48.000MAGE-T or similar series members. Cross-vendor replacements require matching the 12 pF load capacitance, 60 Ohm ESR, and 3.2x2.5 mm package dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
