LFXTAL084885

Overview

The LFXTAL084885 is a surface-mount quartz crystal resonator from the IQXC-217 series by IQD Frequency Products. It operates at a nominal frequency of 32.768 kHz with a parallel fundamental mode. The component features a load capacitance of 6 pF and a frequency tolerance of 20 ppm. Designed for compact electronics, it utilizes a 3.2 mm x 1.5 mm SMD package. The device supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount design compatible with automated assembly processes
• Fundamental parallel resonance operation for stable timing
• Compact physical footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts

Applications

• Real-time clock circuits in consumer electronics
• Microcontroller system oscillators
• Low-power embedded devices requiring precise timekeeping

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required packaging format, such as bulk or tape and reel, as this affects handling procedures. Confirm that the target circuit design provides the correct external load capacitance to achieve the specified 20 ppm tolerance. Ensure the PCB land pattern aligns with the 3.2mm x 1.5mm dimensions to prevent soldering defects during reflow.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 32.768 kHz reference is needed for low-cost, space-limited applications. It is appropriate for designs where moderate stability suffices and extreme precision is not required. Consider alternative packages if higher mechanical robustness or different thermal characteristics are necessary for the specific industrial environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IQXC-217 series, which focuses on miniature crystal solutions. IQD Frequency Products manufactures these components to meet general industry standards for timing accuracy. The product line serves broad markets including consumer goods and industrial controls, providing standardized frequency references for digital logic synchronization.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 32.768 kHz frequency, 6 pF load capacitance, and 3.2x1.5mm package dimensions. Verify equivalent electrical parameters such as ESR and drive level sensitivity before integration.
