Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement, as this component may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Confirm that the specific package dimensions and lead configuration match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications against system timing requirements to validate performance suitability.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, low-component-count solution is required for fixed-frequency applications. The integrated capacitor eliminates external tuning components, reducing board space and assembly complexity. Consider the ±0.50% tolerance if precise frequency accuracy is critical. Evaluate the through-hole form factor against surface-mount alternatives if mechanical stress resistance is a priority.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the CSTLS_G series of ceramic resonators, specifically utilizing the CERALOCK technology. These devices are designed to replace traditional crystal oscillators in applications where high stability is not paramount but cost and simplicity are key drivers. The series offers various frequencies and package options to suit diverse embedded system needs.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same CERALOCK family with compatible frequency and tolerance. Verify that any replacement maintains the through-hole mounting style and similar physical dimensions. Ensure the alternative component supports the required 47 pF internal capacitance or allows for equivalent circuit adjustment.
