Description
The HC-49SMD 22.1184 MHz is a highly reliable quartz crystal designed for precision timing in a compact, surface-mount form factor. The frequency 22.1184 MHz is legendary in the world of 8-bit microcontrollers (like the 8051 family). It was specifically chosen by engineers because it is a multiple of standard serial communication baud rates—for example, it allows for exact generation of 9600, 19200, 38400, and 57600 bps with zero percentage error.
Housed in the industry-standard HC-49SMD low-profile metal package, this crystal offers excellent mechanical durability and electrical stability. With a load capacitance of 20 pF and a tight frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm, it ensures that serial data transmissions remain stable and error-free. This pack includes two units, making it an excellent choice for hardware prototyping or multi-board designs requiring precise UART timing.
