Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific supply voltage requirement against the target circuit design, as the device supports both 1.8V and 3.3V operation. Confirm that the 4-SMD footprint matches the PCB layout specifications. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final application. Cross-reference the datasheet for pinout configuration to prevent installation errors during assembly.

Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required alongside CMOS compatibility. Consider the MEMS construction for vibration resistance compared to traditional quartz alternatives. Evaluate the power consumption differences between 1.8V and 3.3V modes if energy efficiency is critical. Verify that the 8 MHz frequency aligns with the system clock requirements without additional dividers.

Oscillators Part Context

This part belongs to the TC series of MEMS oscillators from TXC Corporation. It is distinct from the 7C and AA series which utilize different packaging or crystal technologies. The TC series specifically targets applications needing low profile and robust performance in consumer and industrial devices.

Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 8 MHz MEMS oscillators in 2.0x1.6mm packages from manufacturers like SiTime or Epson. Ensure electrical parameters such as load capacitance and output drive strength are compatible. Verify thermal characteristics match the original specification.
