Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output logic family and pin configuration against the official datasheet before integration, as variations may exist within the CT series. Confirm that the ±100 ppm stability meets the target application's jitter and phase noise requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C aligns with the environmental conditions of the final product deployment.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 156.25 MHz reference is required for systems compatible with 2.5V or 3.3V logic levels. Consider the ±100 ppm tolerance if higher precision is not critical. The 5x3.2mm package size should be evaluated against available PCB real estate compared to larger or smaller alternative oscillator packages offered by TXC.
