• CMOS output interface compatible with standard digital logic circuits.
• Compact surface-mount design facilitates high-density PCB layout.

Applications

• Telecommunications base stations
• Wireless communication modules
• Network synchronization equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout configuration and electrical characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel provides original manufacturer documentation to validate the component's authenticity and compliance with RoHS standards before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 12.8 MHz reference signal is required for digital systems. The CMOS output level simplifies interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without additional buffering. Consider the 3.3 V supply requirement and the specific stability metrics to ensure compatibility with system timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the QTS532C series of TCXOs from QST, designed for applications demanding high frequency stability in small form factors. The series typically includes variants with different frequencies and output formats, sharing a common 5.0mm x 3.2mm footprint to support modular design approaches in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with TXC Corporation models such as QTS532-12.800MBP-T or AST3TQ53-T-12.800MHZ-5-SW-T2 for potential mechanical and electrical compatibility. Verify that substitute parts match the 12.8 MHz frequency, CMOS output type, and 3.3 V supply requirements to maintain system functionality.
