LFXTAL056516

Overview

The LFXTAL056516 is a quartz crystal resonator manufactured by IQD Frequency Products, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 8 MHz with a frequency tolerance and stability of ±30 ppm. The component features a load capacitance of 12 pF and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 80 Ohms. It utilizes the 12SMX-B series package configuration, measuring 7 mm in length and 5 mm in width. This through-hole or SMD compatible crystal is suitable for general timing circuits requiring precise frequency control within standard operating conditions.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable 8 MHz oscillation with ±30 ppm frequency tolerance
• Designed for surface-mount integration using compact 12SMX-B packaging
• Optimized for low power consumption with 12 pF load capacitance specification

Applications

• General purpose microcontroller clock sources
• Digital signal processing timing references
• Communication interface synchronization circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant and termination style required for your PCB layout, as surface-mount crystals may have different handling requirements compared to traditional through-hole components. Confirm that the 12 pF load capacitance matches your circuit design specifications to ensure accurate frequency operation. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 MHz reference signal is needed with moderate accuracy requirements. The ±30 ppm tolerance makes it suitable for non-critical timing applications where higher precision is not mandatory. Ensure the 80 Ohm ESR value is compatible with your oscillator circuit's drive level constraints to prevent overdriving the crystal.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IQD 12SMX-B series of quartz crystals, which are engineered for space-constrained electronic designs. The series offers various frequency options within a standardized small footprint, allowing designers to maintain consistent board layouts across different product variants while achieving specific timing requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8 MHz frequency, 12 pF load capacitance, and 12SMX-B package dimensions. Verify that alternative manufacturers provide comparable ±30 ppm tolerance and similar ESR characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
