NZ2520SA-22.000000MHZ

Overview

The NZ2520SA-22.000000MHZ is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by NDK. It operates at a nominal frequency of 22 MHz with CMOS output levels and a supply voltage of 3V. The device features a standby function for power management. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 2.5mm x 2.0mm. The component supports surface-mount installation and is designed for applications requiring stable frequency generation in space-constrained environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrated temperature compensation for enhanced frequency stability across operating temperatures
• Built-in standby mode to reduce power consumption during inactive periods
• CMOS-compatible output interface for direct logic integration
• Compact surface-mount footprint suitable for high-density PCB layouts

Applications

• Portable communication devices requiring low power and stable clocking
• Industrial control systems needing reliable timing references
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained design requirements
• Automotive infotainment and navigation modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or revision code against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compatibility with required operating temperature ranges and load conditions. Confirm that the 3V supply voltage aligns with the target system's power architecture. Check for any recent part number updates or obsolescence notices from NDK before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 22 MHz reference is needed with minimal size and power usage. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified operating temperature limits. Consider the CMOS output drive capability against the input requirements of the downstream circuitry. Verify that the 4-SMD package fits the available board space and soldering profile constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to NDK's NZ2520SA series of TCXOs, which are designed for general-purpose clocking applications. The series offers a balance of performance and size, targeting markets where traditional crystals lack sufficient stability without adding bulk. It serves as a drop-in replacement for less stable oscillators in designs requiring improved frequency accuracy over temperature variations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 22 MHz CMOS TCXOs in 2520 packages from manufacturers like Epson or Seiko. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications such as phase noise and startup time. Cross-reference with NDK's official substitution list if available.
