The **MHO+76TAAG-R** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Crystal Oscillator**. It is commonly used in telecommunications, networking, and industrial computing applications where precise timing is critical. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications The MHO series, produced by manufacturers like **MtronPTI**, consists of HCMOS/TTL compatible oscillators. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Crystal Oscillator (XO) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Full Size) / 4-pin Lead | | **Supply Voltage ($V_{dd}$)** | +5.0 VDC (Standard for the MHO series) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (indicated by the -R suffix) | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown (Decoding) While naming conventions can vary slightly by manufacturer, the "MHO+76TAAG-R" string typically decodes as follows: * **MHO+**: Product series (5.0V HCMOS/TTL Crystal Oscillator). * **76**: Often represents the specific frequency stability or temperature range code. * **T**: Indicates "Tri-state" functionality (allows the output to be disabled/disconnected). * **AA**: Often refers to the frequency stability (e.g., ±100ppm, ±50ppm, or ±25ppm). * **G**: Symbolizes the specific symmetry or duty cycle (usually 40/60%). * **-R**: **RoHS Compliant**. --- ### 3. Electrical Characteristics These parts are designed to drive high-speed digital logic circuits. * **Frequency Range:** Typically available from 1.000 MHz to 150.000 MHz (Specific frequency is usually printed on the top of the can). * **Operating Temperature:** Generally -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) or 0°C to 70°C (Commercial). * **Tri-state Function:** * **Pin 1 High (or open):** Output is active. * **Pin 1 Low:** High impedance (disabled), reducing power consumption. * **Package Dimensions:** Large metal "DIP" style package, which provides excellent EMI shielding. --- ### 4. Typical Pinout (14-pin DIP style) Though it has a 14-pin footprint, only 4 pins are physically present or connected: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | E/D or NC | Enable/Disable (Tri-state) or No Connect | | **7** | GND | Case Ground | | **8** | Output | The clock signal output | | **14** | $V_{cc}$ | +5.0V Power Supply | --- ### 5. Common Applications * **Networking Gear:** Switches and routers requiring stable clock references. * **Legacy Hardware:** Industrial controllers that utilize 5V logic. * **Test & Measurement:** Oscilloscopes and signal generators. * **Data Communications:** Synchronizing high-speed data transfers. ---
