The **MHO+36TBD-R** is a high-precision, industrial-grade crystal oscillator. Specifically, it belongs to the **MHO+** series manufactured by **MtronPTI**, designed for applications requiring stability and reliability in telecommunications and data processing. --- ### 1. General Specifications Based on the part number nomenclature, here are the primary electronic characteristics: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Crystal Clock Oscillator (XO) | | **Package Type** | 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), typically 4-pin functional | | **Output Type** | HCMOS/TTL Compatible | | **Supply Voltage** | 3.3V or 5.0V (Standard for the series) | | **Frequency Range** | Usually custom-defined (e.g., 1.0 MHz to 150 MHz) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of Part Number Suffixes The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the component's tolerances and features: * **MHO+**: The series name (Full-size or Half-size DIP oscillators). * **3**: Represents the Operating Voltage (commonly indicates **3.3V DC**). * **6**: Indicates Frequency Stability (often maps to **±25 ppm** or **±50 ppm** depending on the specific datasheet revision). * **T**: Tristate function (Pin 1 is used for Output Enable/Disable). * **B**: Temperature Range code (Industrial: **-40°C to +85°C**). * **D**: Duty Cycle (typically **45/55%** symmetry). * **R**: RoHS Compliant (Lead-free). --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (Functional) Although it uses a 14-pin DIP footprint, only four pins are typically active: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | **Tri-state / NC** | High or Open = Output Active; Low = High Impedance | | **7** | **Case Ground** | Connection to 0V / System Ground | | **8** | **Output** | Clock Signal output (HCMOS/TTL) | | **14** | **Vcc** | Supply Voltage input | --- ### 4. Key Applications * **Networking Gear:** Used in routers and switches for timing synchronization. * **Industrial Controllers:** Providing stable clock pulses for PLCs and embedded systems. * **Legacy Hardware:** Because of the DIP package, it is often found in older systems or high-reliability hardware where surface-mount (SMD) parts are not preferred. --- ### 5. Summary Table | Feature | Performance | | :--- | :--- | | **Reliability** | High resistance to shock and vibration | | **Signal Integrity** | Fast rise/fall times for HCMOS loads | | **Power Consumption** | Low current draw (typically <30mA) |
