Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance and ESR requirements against the target circuit design before procurement. Confirm that the 4-SMD package dimensions align with the PCB footprint. Ensure the ±20 ppm stability meets the system's clock accuracy specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for any specific soldering profile recommendations to maintain component integrity during assembly processes.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 12.288 MHz reference is required for synchronous data transmission or processing clocks. The 12 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit's input capacitance to ensure accurate frequency output. Consider the 100 Ohm ESR limit to guarantee sufficient drive level compatibility. The wide temperature range makes it suitable for applications exposed to varying environmental conditions without significant frequency drift.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the IXA16 series of crystals manufactured by ILSI America. The series provides various fundamental frequency options in a standardized surface-mount package. The IXA16 line is designed for general-purpose timing applications requiring reliable performance across industrial temperature ranges. Other variants in the series differ primarily in their nominal frequencies while maintaining similar electrical characteristics and package styles.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 12.288 MHz crystals with identical 12 pF load capacitance and 4-SMD no-lead packaging. Verify that alternative components meet the same ±20 ppm stability and 100 Ohm ESR specifications. Ensure the replacement part supports fundamental mode operation and the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Check mechanical footprint compatibility to avoid PCB redesign requirements.
