RNA5033A-38.4M

Overview

The RNA5033A-38.4M is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) manufactured by NDK. It operates at a nominal frequency of 38.4 MHz and utilizes CMOS output format. The device is designed for single-supply operation with a voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V, with the specific model variant supporting 3.3 V logic levels. It is housed in a compact 10-SMD, no-lead package, suitable for surface-mount assembly. The component provides stable clock signals for digital circuits requiring precise timing synchronization.

Feature Summary

• Integrated temperature compensation circuitry ensures frequency stability across operating temperatures
• CMOS output interface compatible with standard digital logic families
• Compact surface-mount package design facilitates automated PCB assembly

Applications

• Clock generation for communication modules
• Timing reference for embedded systems
• Synchronization sources for data processing units

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact supply voltage requirement against the target system design, as the product line includes variants for different voltage levels such as 1.8V and 3.3V. Confirm that the 10-SMD no-lead package footprint matches the PCB layout specifications. Ensure the selected part number suffix corresponds to the required frequency tolerance and load capacitance parameters defined in the official datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a stable 38.4 MHz clock source is required for CMOS-based digital interfaces. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure the TCXO performance meets the system's frequency stability requirements without external compensation. Consider the power consumption characteristics relative to the available power budget in the application. Verify compatibility with the host controller's input voltage thresholds to guarantee reliable signal integrity during operation.

Part Context

This oscillator belongs to the RNA series of surface-mount crystal oscillators from NDK. The series is engineered for applications demanding high frequency stability and low phase noise. The RNA5033A variant specifically addresses the need for robust timing solutions in portable and industrial electronics where space constraints and power efficiency are critical design factors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official NDK replacement guide for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the RNA series. Cross-reference frequency and package dimensions with other manufacturers' offerings only if electrical parameters match exactly.
