Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Murata documentation to confirm load capacitance and physical dimensions, as variations exist within the CSTLS series. Confirm current lifecycle status, as some distributors list this part as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin spacing and height constraints before finalizing procurement.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 16 MHz reference is required for microcontrollers or logic circuits using third-harmonic drive. Compare against other CSTLS variants to ensure the 5 pF load capacitance matches the oscillator circuit requirements. Evaluate thermal performance against the specified -20°C to +80°C operational range for the target environment.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the Murata CSTLS series of CERALOCK ceramic resonators. These components are designed to replace quartz crystals in applications where moderate frequency accuracy is sufficient. The series offers a compact alternative to traditional crystal units, integrating the resonator element into a standardized three-lead package suitable for automated assembly processes.
