F254-327

Oscillators Overview

The Fox Electronics F254-327 is a standard crystal oscillator (XO) operating at a frequency of 32.768 kHz. It features an HCMOS output signal and requires a supply voltage of 3.3V. The component supports a standby function for power-down capabilities. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, No Lead package, designed for surface-mount applications requiring precise timing control.

Oscillators Feature Summary

• Provides stable 32.768 kHz timing signals via HCMOS output interface
• Supports low-power operation with integrated standby mode functionality
• Utilizes a lead-free 4-SMD surface-mount package for automated assembly

Oscillators Applications

• Real-time clock circuits in embedded systems
• Low-frequency timing references for microcontrollers
• Power management systems requiring standby synchronization

Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required voltage levels and output drive strengths. Confirm that the 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Check datasheet specifications for tolerance and stability requirements relevant to the application environment before finalizing procurement.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 32.768 kHz reference is needed for timekeeping or low-speed synchronization. Ensure the system design accommodates the 3.3V supply requirement and utilizes the HCMOS logic level. Consider the standby feature if power conservation during inactive periods is a critical design constraint.

Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the Fox Electronics family of standard crystal oscillators. It serves as a fundamental frequency control element within passive components categories. The device provides reliable clock generation for digital circuits, distinguishing itself through its specific low-frequency output and surface-mount form factor suitable for modern electronics manufacturing.

Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 32.768 kHz frequency, HCMOS output type, and 3.3V supply voltage. Verify pinout compatibility for the 4-SMD package. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering similar low-frequency XO devices ensuring identical electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions.
