The **MHO+52FCD-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **MHO+ Series Crystal Oscillators** manufactured by companies like MtronPTI. These are high-performance frequency control components used in various electronic timing circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Overview The part number encodes specific characteristics of the component. Below is a breakdown of the typical parameters for this series: | Parameter | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | XO (Clock Crystal Oscillator) | | **Package Style** | 14-pin DIP (Full Size) or 8-pin DIP (Half Size) | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Supply Voltage** | Usually 5.0V (Standard for MHO+ series) | | **Frequency Range** | Typically 1.000 MHz to 100.000 MHz | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number While nomenclature varies slightly by manufacturer, here is how the code is generally decoded: * **MHO+**: Indicates the product series (High-performance, metal-can package). * **5**: Usually denotes the voltage (e.g., 5.0V). * **2**: Often indicates frequency stability (e.g., ±50ppm or ±100ppm depending on the datasheet version). * **F**: Represents the operating temperature range (F usually denotes Industrial: -40°C to +85°C). * **C**: Denotes the duty cycle or output symmetry (e.g., 40/60% or 45/55%). * **D**: Package type (DIP). * **-R**: RoHS Compliant (Lead-free). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Hermetically Sealed:** The internal quartz crystal is housed in a metal "can" (DIP package) to protect it from moisture and atmospheric pressure changes, ensuring long-term frequency stability. * **Internal Bypass:** Most modern MHO+ units include internal bypass capacitors to reduce electrical noise on the power line. * **Tri-state Functionality:** Many models in this series feature a "tri-state" or "enable/disable" pin, allowing the output to be disconnected from the bus for testing or power-saving purposes. --- ### 4. Common Applications These oscillators are used in legacy and high-reliability systems where surface-mount (SMD) components are not desired or where through-hole mounting is required for mechanical strength: 1. **Microprocessor Clocks:** Providing the base heartbeat for CPUs and MCUs. 2. **Industrial Controllers:** Used in PLCs and automation hardware. 3. **Communication Equipment:** Base stations and networking hardware. 4. **Test & Measurement:** Oscilloscopes and signal generators. ---
