LFXTAL030820BULK

Overview

The LFXTAL030820BULK is a surface-mount quartz crystal resonator manufactured by IQD Frequency Products. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 30 MHz with a frequency tolerance and stability of ±50 ppm. The component features an 18 pF load capacitance and a maximum equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 50 Ohms. Designed for base mode operation, it utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 5.00 mm in length, 3.20 mm in width, and 1.00 mm in maximum height. The device supports a standard operating temperature range from -10°C to +60°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 30 MHz timing signals via fundamental mode quartz resonance
• Compact 4-SMD footprint suitable for space-constrained surface mount applications
• Integrated 18 pF load capacitance simplifies circuit design requirements

Applications

• General purpose digital clock generation
• Microcontroller system timing references
• Communication interface synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BULK indicates tray or loose bulk packaging configuration prior to ordering. Confirm that the ±50 ppm stability meets the target application's timing accuracy requirements. Ensure the -10°C to +60°C operating range aligns with the environmental conditions of the final assembly. Cross-reference the 4-SMD dimensions against the PCB land pattern to guarantee mechanical compatibility during placement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 MHz fundamental frequency is required with moderate stability specifications. The 18 pF load capacitance matches common microcontroller oscillator circuits without external trimming. Consider the 50 Ohm ESR limit for drive level sensitivity. This part suits cost-sensitive designs where wide industrial temperature ranges are not mandatory.

Part Context

This crystal belongs to the LFXTAL series of surface-mount quartz resonators from IQD Frequency Products. It serves as a passive frequency control element within larger electronic systems. The component functions independently without active voltage regulation, distinguishing it from oscillator modules. It relies on the host circuit's amplifier stage to sustain oscillation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 30 MHz frequency, 18 pF load capacitance, and 4-SMD 5.0x3.2mm package dimensions. Verify equivalent ±50 ppm stability and similar ESR characteristics. Check if alternative manufacturers offer compatible RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity levels.
