The **MHO+24TCG-R** is a high-performance **Clock Oscillator** (Crystal Oscillator) manufactured by **MtronPTI**. It is specifically designed for high-frequency stability and reliability in industrial and communication applications. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key electronic characteristics of the MHO+24TCG-R: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Output Frequency** | Usually customized (refer to full part number suffix) | | **Package Type** | 14-pin DIP (Full size) or 8-pin DIP (Half size) | | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | +5.0V DC (±10%) | | **Output Logic** | HCMOS/TTL Compatible | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | | **Frequency Stability** | ±100 ppm (Standard for 'TC' series) | | **Duty Cycle** | 40/60% to 45/55% | | **Packaging Material** | Metal Can (Hermetically Sealed) | --- ## 2. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature for this series helps identify specific features: * **MHO:** Identifies the product series (High-Speed CMOS/TTL Oscillator). * **+:** Indicates Lead-Free (RoHS Compliant) construction. * **2:** Represents the Voltage/Output type (5.0V HCMOS/TTL). * **4:** Represents the Operating Temperature range (Industrial -40°C to +85°C). * **TC:** Represents the Stability code (typically ±100 ppm). * **G:** Indicates the "Gull Wing" (Surface Mount) lead configuration or specialized symmetry. * **R:** Indicates RoHS Compliance. --- ## 3. Key Electronic Features * **Tri-state Functionality:** Often includes an output enable/disable function on Pin 1, allowing the output to be high-impedance when not in use. * **Hermetic Sealing:** The metal can is resistance-welded to protect the internal quartz crystal from moisture and atmospheric contaminants, ensuring long-term frequency aging stability. * **Load Drive:** Capable of driving multiple TTL gates or a standard 15pF to 50pF HCMOS load. * **EMI Shielding:** The metal casing provides inherent shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is critical in dense electronic assemblies. --- ## 4. Application Areas This part is commonly found in: 1. **Industrial Controls:** Systems requiring stable timing in harsh temperature environments. 2. **Telecommunications:** Base stations and switching equipment. 3. **Embedded Systems:** Microprocessor clocking where a standard crystal is insufficient due to noise or start-up requirements.
