Description
The HC-49US 16.384 MHz Crystal is a high-precision quartz resonator, widely valued in digital systems for its specific frequency. 16.384 MHz is a common reference frequency in telecommunications, audio processing, and networking, frequently used because it is a power-of-two multiple (16,384 = 214), which simplifies clock division in many digital ICs and microcontrollers.
Housed in the robust and industry-standard HC-49US 2-pin through-hole package, this crystal offers excellent mechanical durability and electrical stability. Its hermetically sealed, resistance-welded construction provides superior protection against environmental factors like moisture and oxidation. With a tight 20 PPM frequency tolerance and a standard 20 pF load capacitance, it delivers the consistent, low-jitter clock performance necessary for demanding digital and communication hardware.
Key Features
- Digital-Friendly Frequency: 16.384 MHz is a binary-multiple frequency, making it ideal for simple clock division and synchronization in digital systems.
- High Accuracy: A tight 20 PPM frequency tolerance ensures minimal clock drift in sensitive circuits.
- Standardized Footprint: The classic 2-pin HC-49US DIP package is globally compatible with most crystal oscillator circuits.
- Robust Build: Hermetically sealed packaging ensures long-term operational longevity and resistance to environmental stress.
- Design Friendly: 20 pF load capacitance integrates effortlessly into the oscillator stages of microcontrollers, DSPs, and communication ICs.
