The **MHO+13FAG-R** is a high-precision, industrial-grade Crystal Oscillator (XO). It is manufactured by MtronPTI and is part of the MHO series, specifically designed for high-reliability timing applications. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the primary electrical and physical characteristics of this component: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Quartz Crystal Oscillator (Fixed) | | **Package / Case** | 14-pin DIP (Full Size) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Operating Voltage** | 5.0 VDC (Standard) | | **Frequency Stability** | ±100 ppm (Standard for this series) | | **Operating Temperature** | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial Grade) | | **Termination** | Through-hole pins | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the "R" suffix) | --- ### 2. Functional Description The MHO+13FAG-R serves as the "heartbeat" for digital systems. It combines a quartz crystal blank with an integrated circuit (oscillator circuit) inside a hermetically sealed metal package. * **Integrated Design:** Unlike a simple 2-pin crystal, this is a complete 4-pin active device. You provide power (Vcc) and Ground (GND), and it outputs a stable square wave. * **Metal Shielding:** The full-size DIP 14 metal canister provides excellent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding, protecting the signal from external noise. * **Logic Compatibility:** The output is designed to drive standard digital logic gates (TTL or CMOS) without needing additional buffering. --- ### 3. Pinout Configuration (Standard 14-Pin DIP Layout) Even though the package has 14 pin locations, typically only 4 pins are physically present or used: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Pin 1** | N/C or Tri-State | Usually no connection or Output Enable/Disable | | **Pin 7** | GND | Circuit Ground | | **Pin 8** | Output | The generated frequency signal | | **Pin 14** | Vcc | +5.0V Power Supply | --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its robust mechanical construction and standard 5V logic, it is commonly found in: * **Legacy Computing:** Motherboards and peripheral controllers. * **Industrial Automation:** PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and industrial timers. * **Testing Equipment:** Oscilloscopes and signal generators. * **Communication Infrastructure:** Synchronizing data transmission in older networking gear. ---
