Resonators Applications

• Microcontroller clock sources
• Real-time clock circuits
• Low-cost timing applications

Resonators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the 15 pF internal capacitance matches the target oscillator circuit requirements. Ensure the 6.0 x 3.0 mm footprint aligns with the PCB layout guidelines provided in the official datasheet. Check RoHS compliance status if required for the specific project standards.

Resonators Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective alternative to quartz crystals is needed for moderate precision applications. The 15 pF internal capacitance eliminates external components, reducing BOM complexity. Consider the ±0.5% tolerance for systems where tight frequency accuracy is not critical. The wide operating temperature range ensures reliability in various environmental conditions.

Resonators Part Context

This part belongs to the ECS-CTP series of ceramic resonators designed for surface-mount technology. It serves as a timing element for digital circuits requiring a stable 8 MHz reference. The series is characterized by its integrated capacitor design, which distinguishes it from standard piezoelectric resonators that require external loading capacitors.

Resonators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 8 MHz ceramic resonators with 15 pF internal capacitance and similar SMD footprints. Verify impedance matching (30 Ohms) and tolerance levels when cross-referencing with competitors. Ensure the replacement part supports the same voltage and temperature specifications.
