Description
The HC49/U 11.0592 MHz Crystal is a precision-engineered quartz resonator, highly regarded in embedded design for its unique frequency. In the world of microcontrollers, 11.0592 MHz is a “magic number” because it is a multiple of standard serial communication (UART) baud rates. Using this crystal allows microcontrollers to generate precise bit rates (like 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200) with near-zero percentage error, ensuring reliable data transmission without the framing errors often encountered with other common frequencies.
Housed in the classic HC49/U through-hole package, this crystal offers excellent mechanical durability and electrical stability. It is an ideal timing reference for a wide array of applications, including microprocessor systems, networking hardware, and general consumer electronics where serial data integrity is a priority.
