Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Cardinal Components documentation to confirm frequency, stability, and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing programming tools such as the PG-3000 series if field reprogramming is required. Confirm that the obsolete status does not impact long-term supply chain requirements for your project.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency HCMOS oscillator with programmable flexibility is needed. Consider the ±50 ppm stability requirement and the -10°C to +85°C operating range. Verify that the 3.3V supply voltage aligns with the system design and that the 6-SMD package fits the PCB layout constraints.
