NKS7-080-20(T)

Crystals Overview

The NKS7-080-20(T) is a fundamental mode ceramic surface-mount crystal manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates at a nominal frequency of 8 MHz with a load capacitance of 20 pF and a frequency tolerance of 50 PPM. The component features an effective series resistance (ESR) of 60 Ohms and supports a drive level of 100 uW. It is housed in a SEAM7050 package measuring 7 mm in length, 5 mm in width, and 1.3 mm in height. The device functions within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

Crystals Feature Summary

• Sub-miniature AT-cut strip resonator integrated into a standard 5x7 mm ceramic package for dense surface mount applications.

Crystals Applications

• General-purpose timing circuits requiring fundamental frequency stability
• Embedded systems utilizing 8 MHz clock references
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained PCB layouts

Crystals Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the required frequency tolerance and temperature range align with the design specifications before finalizing procurement orders. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with relevant regulatory requirements for the target market.

Crystals Selection Notes

Select this component when a fundamental mode crystal is required rather than an overtone variant. Ensure the circuit design accommodates the specified 20 pF load capacitance to maintain accurate frequency calibration. Verify that the 60 Ohm ESR value is compatible with the oscillator circuit's startup requirements and drive level limitations.

Crystals Part Context

This part belongs to the SaRonix-eCera™ NK series, which incorporates sub-miniature AT-cut crystals in ceramic packages. The series is designed for surface mount technologies, offering compact dimensions suitable for modern electronic assemblies. Diodes Incorporated acquired the original technology through the acquisition of Pericom Semiconductor Corporation.

Crystals Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts from the NKS7 series with identical electrical parameters but different frequencies, such as NKS7-405-(T). Verify mechanical footprint compatibility when considering alternative manufacturers or series.
