Description
The YSX530GA 18.432 MHz Crystal is a high-precision, surface-mount (SMD) quartz resonator. The 18.432 MHz frequency is a “preferred” value in digital design because it is a highly versatile multiple of several standard serial (UART) baud rates, including 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps. This makes it a gold standard for reliable serial data communication in embedded systems, ensuring minimal framing errors.
Housed in a compact 2-pad SMD enclosure, this crystal is designed for efficient, space-saving PCB assembly and high-speed automated manufacturing (SMT/reflow). With an ultra-tight 10 PPM frequency tolerance, it delivers the consistent, low-jitter clock performance needed for professional-grade communication hardware and industrial data interfaces.
Key Features
- Serial Communication Specialist: 18.432 MHz is a “magic number” for UART baud rate generation, ensuring error-free data transmission.
