NSC5350A-16.368M

Overview

The NSC5350A-16.368M is a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by NDK. It operates at a frequency of 16.368 MHz and utilizes synthetic quartz crystal technology for high stability. The device outputs a clipped sine wave signal and supports low power supply voltages ranging from DC +2.4 V ±0.1 V to +3.3 V ±5%. It is housed in an ultra-compact, light 4-SMD, No Lead package designed for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates temperature compensation within a compact SMD package
• Utilizes synthetic quartz crystal growing technology for precision
• Supports low voltage operation for energy efficiency

Applications

• Mobile communications equipment
• Fixed radio communications systems
• Automotive electronics devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific output waveform specification against the official datasheet, as some sources describe this model as having a clipped sine wave output. Confirm the operating voltage range aligns with your system design requirements, specifically checking compatibility with the supported DC +2.4 V to +3.3 V inputs. Ensure the 4-SMD no-lead package footprint matches your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 16.368 MHz reference is required in space-constrained designs. The TCXO architecture provides necessary frequency stability across temperature variations compared to standard crystals. Consider the clipped sine wave output format if downstream circuitry requires this specific signal type rather than a square wave or full sine wave.

Part Context

NDK manufactures this oscillator using proprietary synthetic quartz crystal growing and photolithography technologies.
