Based on the part number **MHO+72FBD-R**, this component is a high-precision **Crystal Oscillator** typically manufactured by companies like MtronPTI. It is designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable frequency control. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the typical characteristics associated with this specific series: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | 5.0 Volts (Standard) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Full size) or 8-pin DIP (Half size) | | **Operating Temperature** | Commercial (0°C to +70°C) or Industrial (-40°C to +85°C) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the '+' or 'R' suffix) | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric code follows a specific nomenclature that defines the part's physical and electrical behavior: * **MHO**: Represents the series (usually HCMOS/TTL compatible oscillators in a metal package). * **+**: Often signifies RoHS compliance or a lead-free manufacturing process. * **7**: Usually denotes the supply voltage (e.g., 5.0V). * **2**: Often indicates the frequency stability (e.g., ±50ppm or ±100ppm depending on the specific datasheet revision). * **F**: Likely refers to the Symmetry/Duty Cycle (e.g., 40/60% or 45/55%). * **BD**: Temperature range code (e.g., -40°C to +85°C). * **-R**: Indicates the part is shipped in specific packaging (like a Tube or Tape & Reel) or reaffirms RoHS compliance. --- ### 3. Key Features 1. **Hermetically Sealed**: The internal crystal is protected by a metal "Can" package, which prevents moisture and contaminants from affecting the frequency. 2. **Low Jitter**: Designed for timing circuits where precision is critical to avoid data errors. 3. **Tri-state Function**: Many versions of this series include an "enable/disable" function on Pin 1, allowing the output to go into a high-impedance state to save power. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Networking**: Routers, switches, and modems. * **Industrial Control**: PLCs and embedded system clocks. * **Computing**: Microprocessor clocks and peripheral timing. * **Test & Measurement**: Signal generators and frequency counters.
