SM capacitor gives top high-frequency performance
TTI is offering the ground breaking AO-CAP range of aluminium-polymer surface-mount capacitors from Kemet.
It has now surpassed it, with the CSTCE-SK devices providing a replacement for +/-500ppm oscillators.
This latest progress erodes the only remaining advantage of crystal oscillators over ceramic resonators.
Oscillators have always been bigger, heavier and more power-hungry than resonators.
Other advantages for the Murata resonators include a rise time that is approximately 100 times faster.
There is also a load capacitor built-in, which reduces the PCB area requirement and the board-assembly workload.
Devices with this high stability are now in production for 24 and 30MHz frequencies, supporting applications such as the latest high-speed USB interfaces.
Higher frequencies will be available soon.
Reflow soldering and optical positioning are recommended for mounting these parts.
They are available on plastic tape in 3000-piece 180mm reels or 9000-piece 330mm reels. Request a free brochure from TTI Europe ...
