NSC5350C-38.4M

Overview

The NSC5350C-38.4M is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by NDK. It operates at a frequency of 38.4 MHz and utilizes a clipped sine wave output signal. The device is designed for low-voltage applications, functioning with a supply voltage of 1.8V. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package suitable for surface-mount technology.

Feature Summary

• Integrates temperature compensation to maintain frequency stability across varying thermal conditions
• Designed for low-power operation with a 1.8V supply voltage requirement
• Features a compact surface-mount package optimized for automated assembly processes

Applications

• Portable consumer electronics requiring precise timing
• Mobile communication devices
• Embedded systems with limited power budgets

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific operating voltage and load capacitance requirements against your circuit design before procurement. Ensure that the PCB footprint matches the 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions provided in the official datasheet. Confirm that the clipped sine wave output is compatible with the input threshold of the receiving component to ensure reliable signal integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable clock source is required in space-constrained, battery-operated devices. The 1.8V specification makes it suitable for modern low-voltage logic families. Consider the clipped sine wave output format when designing the interface circuitry, as it differs from standard square wave outputs found in other oscillator types.
