The **MHO+15FAAD-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **Quartz Crystal Oscillators**, often manufactured by companies like MtronPTI. These components are used to generate precise clock signals in electronic circuits. Below is a breakdown of the technical specifications and characteristics typically associated with this series. --- ### 1. General Specifications The "MHO" series generally refers to a standard 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) or 8-pin DIP compatible layout. | Parameter | Typical Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Fixed Output Crystal Oscillator (XO) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Hole-through) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Supply Voltage** | +5.0 VDC (Common for the '1' or '5' designation) | | **Operating Temperature** | Commercial (0°C to +70°C) or Industrial (-40°C to +85°C) | | **Frequency Stability** | Usually ±25ppm, ±50ppm, or ±100ppm | --- ### 2. Part Number Decoder (MHO+15FAAD-R) While naming conventions can vary slightly by manufacturer, the suffix codes generally represent the following: * **MHO:** Series prefix (Metal Thru-Hole Oscillator). * **+:** Often indicates RoHS compliance (Lead-free). * **15:** Usually indicates the supply voltage (e.g., 5.0V) or a specific frequency stability tier. * **F:** Frequency stability code (often ±100ppm or ±50ppm depending on the datasheet). * **AA:** Temperature range and duty cycle code. * **D:** Pin 1 configuration (e.g., Tri-state Enable/Disable function). * **-R:** RoHS Compliant. --- ### 3. Pinout Configuration For a standard 14-pin DIP oscillator, only four pins are typically functional: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | NC or E/D | No Connection or Output Enable/Disable (Tri-state) | | **7** | GND | Ground / Case Ground | | **8** | Output | The generated clock signal (Square Wave) | | **14** | Vcc | Positive Supply Voltage (+5.0V) | --- ### 4. Applications These oscillators are "plug-and-play" timing solutions used in: * **Microprocessors:** Providing the base clock for CPUs. * **Networking:** Synchronizing data transmission in routers and switches. * **Industrial Control:** Timing for PLCs and embedded controllers. * **Legacy Hardware:** Maintenance and repair of older electronic systems using through-hole technology. ---
