Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'MTD' corresponds to the required 15 pF internal capacitance and 40 Ohm impedance characteristics. Confirm that the -40°C to +85°C temperature rating aligns with the target application environment. Ensure the three-terminal surface mount footprint matches the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required for non-critical timing applications. It is appropriate for designs where moderate frequency accuracy is acceptable and board space is limited. Consider the 15 pF internal capacitance value to ensure compatibility with the oscillator circuit's input requirements without additional external capacitors.

Resonators Part Context

This part is part of the Abracon AWSCR-MTD family of ceramic resonators. These components are designed to replace traditional crystal oscillator assemblies by integrating necessary matching capacitors directly into the package. The MTD series specifically targets applications requiring reliable timing solutions with simplified assembly processes and reduced component count.
