M228TCN 50.000000

Overview

The M228TCN 50.000000 is a surface-mount HCMOS clock oscillator manufactured by MtronPTI, designed for high-reliability applications. It operates at a nominal frequency of 50 MHz with a supply voltage of 3.3 V and features an enable/disable function. The component utilizes a leadless ceramic package measuring 7.0 mm x 5.0 mm x 1.9 mm, ensuring compatibility with standard SMD processes. It supports frequencies from 1.5 MHz to 125 MHz and maintains stability within specified limits across the industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• HCMOS output compatible with TTL logic levels
• Enable/Disable control function for power management
• Seam-sealed leadless ceramic package for environmental protection

Applications

• Microprocessors and controllers
• DSP systems
• Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
• SONET telecommunications equipment
• Industrial controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency suffix (e.g., 50.000000) against project requirements, as the M228TCN series offers multiple frequency options. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging type (tape and reel vs. bulk) during ordering. Ensure the 3.3V supply voltage aligns with the target system design. Cross-reference the part number with official MtronPTI documentation to validate current availability and manufacturing status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, low-jitter HCMOS clock source is required for digital signal processing or communication interfaces. The 5x7 mm package size suits space-constrained designs. Consider the ±20 ppm frequency stability for timing-critical applications. The enable/disable feature allows for dynamic power control in battery-operated or energy-efficient systems. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended deployment scenario.

Part Context

The M228TCN belongs to MtronPTI's M Series of clock oscillators, which are characterized by their leadless chip carrier (LCC) construction. This series provides both HCMOS and LVPECL/LVDS/CML output options, catering to diverse interface requirements. The M228TCN specifically targets applications requiring TTL-compatible signals, offering a reliable alternative to traditional through-hole or larger surface-mount oscillators in modern electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other M228TCN variants with different frequency suffixes if the 50 MHz requirement is flexible. For equivalent performance, verify HCMOS output types, 3.3V supply, and 5x7mm package dimensions. No specific cross-manufacturer replacements are confirmed in public data; consult MtronPTI for approved alternatives.
