Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging configuration when ordering, as availability may vary between tape-and-reel, cut tape, and Digi-Reel formats. Confirm that the required load capacitance matches the system design requirements, as this value is fixed internally. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the target application before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required without sacrificing significant accuracy. The integrated capacitor eliminates the need for external matching components, reducing board space and assembly complexity. Consider the 40 Ohm impedance when designing driver circuits to ensure optimal oscillation startup and stability within the specified frequency tolerance limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CV series of ceramic resonators from Abracon. The series is characterized by its compact SMD footprint and built-in capacitance options, targeting applications where size constraints and bill-of-materials reduction are critical priorities compared to traditional discrete crystal oscillator solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Abracon AWSCR-16.00CV variants with identical electrical parameters but different packaging suffixes. Cross-brand replacements require careful verification of pinout compatibility, equivalent load capacitance, and impedance characteristics to maintain circuit performance.
