RO3164D

Overview

The RO3164D is a surface-mount SAW resonator operating at 868.53 MHz with a 1.7 pF load capacitance and 32 ppb temperature stability. It features a fundamental-mode quartz frequency reference in a ceramic case. Key electrical parameters include an insertion loss of 1.3 to 2.0 dB, an unloaded Q of 7100, and a loaded Q of 970 at 50 Ω. The device supports AEC-Q200 qualification and PPAP for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• True one-port surface-acoustic-wave design
• Fundamental-mode quartz frequency stability
• Surface-mount ceramic package construction

Applications

• Automotive wireless communication systems
• OEM internet-connected devices
• Wireless control and monitoring equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -1 or -2) against the required frequency tolerance and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance and AEC-Q200 qualification status for automotive integration. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact datasheet revision to avoid parameter discrepancies.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-frequency stability in compact surface-mount formats. Consider the 32 ppb temperature stability for precision timing needs. Evaluate the 1.7 pF load capacitance compatibility with circuit requirements. Verify automotive qualification if used in vehicle electronics.

Part Context

RFMi, an Akoustis brand, manufactures RF components using SAW, Xtal, and Ceramic technologies. The RO3164D belongs to their SAW resonator line, designed for digital and wireless applications.
