Overview

The ASE-50.000MHZ-L-C-T is a 50 MHz crystal oscillator (XO) designed for stable CMOS output in a compact 3.2mm x 2.5mm surface-mount package. It operates at 3.3V and features an enable/disable function on pin 1 to conserve power when the clock signal is not required. This component provides a reliable timing source for digital circuits that require a fixed-frequency reference.

Why Choose This Part

This oscillator offers a balanced +/-50ppm frequency stability across an extended industrial temperature range. Its small 3225 footprint saves significant PCB real estate compared to traditional 5x7mm oscillators while maintaining standard 3.3V compatibility.

Applications

Microcontroller Clocking
Provides a precise 50 MHz external clock source for MCUs, DSPs, and FPGAs that require a stable reference for internal PLLs.
Ethernet PHYs
Commonly used to drive the reference clock for networking hardware and communication interfaces.
Industrial Automation Control
Serves as a rugged timing reference for PLC logic and industrial sensor hubs operating in temperatures from -40C to +85C.
Embedded Computing
Acts as the system heartbeat for single-board computers and peripheral controllers requiring a CMOS level clock.

Getting Started

To implement this part, provide a stable 3.3V supply and place a 0.01uF to 0.1uF bypass capacitor as close to the VDD pin as possible. Ensure pin 1 is pulled high to enable the output; if left floating or pulled low, the CMOS output will enter a high-impedance state. Keep the output trace short to minimize EMI and signal degradation at 50 MHz.
