LFXTAL081616

Overview

The LFXTAL081616 is a quartz crystal resonator from the IQXC-26 series manufactured by IQD Frequency Products. It operates at a nominal frequency of 37.4 MHz with a frequency stability of ±20 ppm and a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm. The component features a load capacitance of 8 pF and utilizes an SMD package measuring 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm.

Feature Summary

• Compact surface-mount design suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts
• High frequency stability ensuring precise timing performance
• RoHS compliant construction for environmental safety

Applications

• Digital clock signal generation
• Microcontroller oscillator circuits
• Communication module timing references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm tape and reel availability versus cut tape options. Confirm that the 1.6mm x 1.2mm footprint matches the target PCB land pattern. Ensure the ±20 ppm stability meets system requirements. Check current stock levels as lead times may vary due to supply chain conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required for 37.4 MHz applications. The 8 pF load capacitance must match the oscillator circuit design. Consider the ±10 ppm tolerance for tighter accuracy needs compared to standard ±20 ppm parts. Evaluate thermal performance if operating near temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IQXC-26 series, which focuses on miniaturized crystal solutions. It serves as a timing reference in modern electronics where board space is limited. The manufacturer specializes in quartz components for various industrial and consumer applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 37.4 MHz frequency, 8 pF load capacitance, and 1.6mm x 1.2mm SMD package. Verify equivalent stability and tolerance ratings. Cross-reference pinout compatibility if applicable.
