AWSCR-8.00CPLA-C33-T4

Overview

The AWSCR-8.00CPLA-C33-T4 is an 8 MHz ceramic resonator manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for surface-mount applications. It features a built-in load capacitance of 33 pF and exhibits a resonance impedance of 30 Ohms. The component offers a frequency stability of ±0.3% and a frequency tolerance of ±0.5%. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The physical dimensions are 6.00 mm in length, 3.00 mm in width, and 1.50 mm in height, housed in a standard 3-SMD non-standard package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design and reduce external component count.
• Provides high frequency stability suitable for precise timing requirements.
• Features low resonance impedance for efficient signal transmission.

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication interface timing circuits
• Consumer electronics control boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T4 indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the 33 pF internal capacitance matches the target oscillator circuit requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C aligns with the environmental conditions of the final application. Cross-reference the 30 Ohm impedance with the driving circuit capabilities to prevent overdriving or insufficient oscillation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is required for moderate precision applications. The 8 MHz frequency is common for general-purpose microcontrollers. The 33 pF internal capacitance eliminates the need for external loading capacitors, reducing board space. Consider the ±0.5% tolerance if tight frequency accuracy is not critical. The SMD package facilitates automated assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AWSCR-CPLA series of ceramic resonators from Abracon. These components are designed as drop-in replacements for certain crystal configurations where extreme stability is not mandatory. The series utilizes piezoelectric ceramic materials to provide reliable frequency generation in compact surface-mount formats.

Replacement Considerations
