The **MHO+36FBD-R** is a specific part number belonging to a series of high-precision **Crystal Oscillators** manufactured by **MtronPTI**. These components are critical in electronic circuits for providing a stable clock signal or frequency reference. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Breakdown | Parameter | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | | **Series** | MHO+ Series (High Stability) | | **Package Type** | 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) - Full Size | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Supply Voltage** | Typically 5.0V (Standard for this series) | | **Frequency Range** | Varies based on specific sub-marking (e.g., 1MHz to 150MHz) | | **Stability** | Usually ±50ppm to ±100ppm (Industrial Standard) | --- ### 2. Part Number Nomenclature Understanding the code helps identify the exact environmental and electrical tolerances: * **MHO:** Identifies the product family (Metal package, Thru-hole oscillator). * **+:** Usually indicates RoHS compliance (Lead-free). * **3:** Represents the voltage or stability class (often 5.0V operation). * **6:** Specifies the frequency stability (typically ±50ppm). * **F:** Frequency-specific code or temperature range (Standard -40°C to +85°C for industrial). * **BD:** Output load / Duty cycle configuration (usually 40/60% or 45/55%). * **-R:** Indicates RoHS compliance and Tape/Reel or specific packaging. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Hermetically Sealed:** The metal "can" package is vacuum-sealed to protect the quartz crystal from humidity and atmospheric changes, ensuring long-term frequency aging stability. * **Tri-state Functionality:** Many models in this series include an "Enable/Disable" pin, allowing the oscillator to be turned off to save power or perform system testing. * **Low Jitter:** Designed for timing-sensitive applications like networking and data processing to reduce errors in high-speed communication. --- ### 4. Common Applications 1. **Industrial Controllers:** Used as a heartbeat for PLCs and automation hardware. 2. **Legacy Computing:** Common in older motherboard designs or specialized embedded systems requiring 5V logic. 3. **Communication Equipment:** Providing stable bit-rates for modems and routers. 4. **Test & Measurement:** Used in signal generators and frequency counters.
