NSC5332B-52M

Overview

The NSC5332B-52M is a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by NDK. It operates at a frequency of 52 MHz and delivers a clipped sine wave output signal. The device is designed for low-voltage applications, functioning at 1.8V. It utilizes a surface-mount package configuration, specifically a 4-SMD, No Lead footprint with dimensions of 3.2mm x 2.5mm. This component serves as a precise clock source in compact electronic systems requiring stable frequency generation under varying thermal conditions.

Feature Summary

• Integrates temperature compensation to maintain frequency stability across operating temperatures
• Provides a clipped sine wave output suitable for digital logic interfaces
• Supports low-voltage operation at 1.8V for energy-efficient circuit designs
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount package for automated assembly processes

Applications

• Mobile communication devices requiring stable clock signals
• Portable consumer electronics with space constraints
• Automotive infotainment and control systems
• Industrial instrumentation needing precise timing references

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output waveform compatibility with target load circuits before integration. Confirm that the 1.8V supply voltage aligns with the system power architecture. Ensure the 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions fit within the designated PCB silkscreen and copper pad layout. Check for any required external components or termination resistors specified in the official datasheet for optimal signal integrity.

Selection Notes

Choose this TCXO when frequency stability over temperature is critical compared to standard crystals. The 52 MHz frequency suits specific data bus rates or reference clock needs. The clipped sine wave output simplifies interface design compared to square waves with high harmonic content. Consider the 1.8V requirement against available board voltages to avoid level shifting issues. Evaluate the compact 3.2x2.5mm package against available real estate on the mainboard.

Part Context

This part belongs to NDK's line of surface-mount oscillators, distinct from their discrete crystal units like the NX3225SA series. While similar in physical footprint to other SMD components, it functions as an active oscillator rather than a passive resonator. It complements NDK's broader portfolio of quartz devices used in mobile, automotive, and office automation equipment, providing integrated timing solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 52 MHz frequency, 1.8V supply, and clipped sine wave output. Verify pinout compatibility for the 4-SMD no-lead package. Cross-reference thermal compensation specifications if operating in extreme environments. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for equivalent TCXO models with identical electrical characteristics.
