The **MHO+13FAAD-R** is a high-performance **Crystal Oscillator (XO)** manufactured by MtronPTI. It belongs to the MHO series, which is known for providing reliable clock signals in a variety of industrial and communication applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Quartz Crystal Oscillator (Fixed) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL | | **Voltage Supply** | 5.0 VDC (Standard for MHO series) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Half-size or Full-size compatible) | | **Frequency Stability** | ±100 ppm (Standard for the 'A' grade) | | **Operating Temperature** | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial Grade) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the '-R' suffix) | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify the specific features of this oscillator: * **MHO**: The series prefix, indicating a metal-can, hermetically sealed clock oscillator. * **+**: Often indicates a lead-free/RoHS compliant process. * **13**: Refers to the specific package type and voltage (typically 5V, 14-pin DIP footprint). * **F**: Symmetry/Duty Cycle specification (usually 40/60% or 45/55%). * **AA**: Frequency stability and operating temperature range codes. * **D**: Tri-state Enable/Disable function (allows the output to be turned off to save power). * **-R**: RoHS Compliant. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration For a standard 14-pin DIP footprint (where only 4 pins are usually present), the pinout typically follows this logic: ```markdown Pin 1: NC (No Connection) or Tri-state Control Pin 7: Case Ground Pin 8: Output Signal Pin 14: Supply Voltage (+5V) ``` --- ### 4. Key Applications Because of its robust metal packaging and stable HCMOS output, it is commonly used in: * **Legacy Computing:** Motherboards and peripheral controllers. * **Industrial Control:** Timing for PLCs and automation hardware. * **Networking:** Clocking for routers, switches, and modems. * **Test & Measurement:** Internal frequency references for lab equipment. ---
