LFXTAL083409

Overview

The LFXTAL083409 is a surface-mount quartz crystal resonator manufactured by IQD Frequency Products. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 26 MHz with a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm and stability of ±20 ppm. The component features an 8 pF load capacitance and utilizes a 4-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm. It supports a maximum operating temperature of 105°C and includes a drive level specification of 100 µW.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise timing control for digital circuits through stable 26 MHz oscillation
• Designed for surface-mount assembly to support automated PCB manufacturing processes
• Ensures reliable operation across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• Microcontroller clock generation
• Communication interface synchronization
• Digital signal processing timing references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific load capacitance requirements against the target oscillator circuit design to ensure frequency accuracy. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during SMT placement to maintain component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26 MHz reference is required in a compact 3.2mm x 2.5mm footprint. Consider the ±10 ppm tolerance for applications demanding high initial accuracy. Evaluate the 8 pF load capacitance compatibility with the host system's oscillator circuit. Assess the thermal performance needs to confirm suitability for the intended operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the standard quartz crystal family from IQD Frequency Products. It serves as a passive frequency control element distinct from active oscillators. The component relies on external circuitry to generate a clock signal. It represents a common solution for general-purpose timing applications requiring moderate stability and small form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 26 MHz frequency, 8 pF load capacitance, and 4-SMD package dimensions. Verify equivalent tolerance and stability specifications. Ensure the replacement component supports the same operating temperature range and drive level requirements.
