Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency configuration and enable/disable pin requirements against your schematic before procurement. Ensure the supply voltage matches the 1.71V to 3.63V operational range. Confirm package dimensions align with your footprint design. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet for any updates on electrical characteristics or mechanical tolerances to ensure full compliance with your project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor and programmable frequency are required. Consider the HCMOS output level for direct interfacing with microcontrollers. Evaluate the 50 PPM accuracy against your system's jitter tolerance. Compare the operating voltage range with your power supply rails to ensure efficient operation without additional level shifting components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ECS-P8F series of programmable oscillators from ECS Inc. International. These devices are designed to replace fixed-frequency crystals in modern electronic designs. The series offers flexibility through programmability while maintaining the reliability of quartz-based timing solutions. They are commonly used in applications where multiple frequency options are needed from a single component type.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like the ECS-P8F5-AN if different packaging or specific voltage levels are required. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same HCMOS output type and programmable functionality. Ensure dimensional compatibility for existing PCB footprints.
