The **MHO+13FGG-R** is a specific type of **Crystal Oscillator** manufactured by MtronPTI. This component is used in electronic circuits to create a precise electrical signal with a very constant frequency. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the typical specifications for the MHO series (specifically the 13FGG-R variant): | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Crystal Oscillator) | | **Package Type** | 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) - Half Size | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Voltage Supply** | Typically 5.0V (Standard for MHO+ series) | | **Frequency Stability** | Usually ±100ppm, ±50ppm, or ±25ppm (depending on grade) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (Indicated by the "-R" suffix) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the part's build: * **MHO**: Represents the product series (MtronPTI High-Reliability Oscillators). * **+**: Often indicates a specific revision or lead-free process enhancement. * **13**: Refers to the physical package style (Half-size 14-pin DIP footprint, though only 4 pins are usually present). * **F**: Usually denotes the frequency stability (e.g., ±100ppm). * **G**: Denotes the duty cycle (e.g., 40/60% or 45/55%). * **G**: Refers to the operating temperature range (e.g., Industrial -40 to +85°C). * **-R**: Indicates **RoHS Compliant** (Lead-free). --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (Typical 4-Pin Layout) Even though it fits into a 14-pin DIP socket, it typically only utilizes 4 pins: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Pin 1** | NC or Tri-state | No connection or Output Enable/Disable | | **Pin 7** | GND | Ground connection | | **Pin 8** | Output | The generated frequency signal | | **Pin 14** | Vcc | Positive Power Supply (+5V) | --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Legacy Computing:** Used in older motherboard designs or industrial PC controllers. * **Communication Equipment:** Providing clock signals for modems and routers. * **Test & Measurement:** Acting as a stable timebase for digital instruments. * **Embedded Systems:** Providing a heartbeat for microprocessors and FPGAs.
