CS15202-12M

Overview

The CS15202-12M is a surface-mount crystal unit manufactured by NDK, belonging to the NX3225SA series. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 12 MHz with a frequency tolerance and stability of ±15ppm. The component features an 8pF load capacitance and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 100 Ohms. Designed for base mode operation, it utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 3.20mm x 2.50mm x 0.60mm maximum height. The device supports a standard operating temperature range from -10°C to +75°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Compact 4-SMD surface-mount design suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Fundamental oscillation mode ensuring stable frequency generation
• Compliant with RoHS3 environmental regulations

Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Communication interface timing circuits
• General-purpose digital logic synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision, as DigiKey listings reference STD-CSR-3 for this part number while other similar variants may use different documentation standards. Confirm that the required load capacitance matches the target circuit design, as the fixed 8pF specification must align with the oscillator's external capacitor requirements to ensure accurate frequency performance.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 MHz fundamental frequency with ±15ppm stability is required in a compact SMD form factor. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -10°C to +75°C operational range. Consider the 100 Ohm ESR value during oscillator circuit design to guarantee reliable startup conditions and sustained oscillation amplitude.
