CSTLS16M0X55Z-A0

Resonators Overview

The Murata CSTLS16M0X55Z-A0 is a ceramic resonator operating at a nominal frequency of 16 MHz. It features a built-in capacitor configuration with a load capacitance of 30 pF. The component exhibits a frequency tolerance of ±0.5% and a frequency stability of ±0.2%. Designed for through-hole mounting, it has three pins and operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. The equivalent series resistance is specified at 50 Ohms.

Resonators Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in capacitors to simplify circuit design by reducing external component count.
• Utilizes piezoelectric ceramic technology for stable time base oscillation in microcomputer applications.

Resonators Applications

• Microcomputer time base oscillator circuits
• General-purpose clock generation for embedded systems

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance requirement against the target application datasheet, as this model specifies 30 pF which differs from standard 15 pF variants. Confirm that the through-hole package dimensions align with the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the final assembly.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a higher load capacitance of 30 pF is required compared to the common 15 pF options in the CSTLS series. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance characteristic for driver compatibility. Evaluate the physical size requirements for the through-hole footprint against available board space.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the Murata CERALOCK family of ceramic resonators. It serves as an alternative to quartz crystals where cost and simplicity are prioritized over extreme frequency accuracy. The CSTLS series provides a compact solution for clock signals in consumer electronics and industrial control modules.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

CSTLS16M0X53-B0 offers similar performance but utilizes a 15 pF load capacitance instead of 30 pF. Substitution requires verification of the oscillator circuit's capacitive loading requirements to ensure frequency accuracy is maintained.
