Overview

The ECS-2520MV-160-BN-TR is a 16.000 MHz MultiVolt HCMOS crystal oscillator housed in a compact 2.5mm x 2.0mm SMD package. It features a wide supply voltage range from 1.6V to 3.6V, allowing it to interface directly with various logic levels without additional regulation. This standard XO includes an enable/disable function on pin 1 to conserve power in battery-operated systems.

Why Choose This Part

This oscillator simplifies inventory by supporting any supply voltage between 1.6V and 3.6V, eliminating the need for specific 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V versions. Its small 2520 footprint saves PCB real estate while maintaining +/-50ppm frequency stability across the full industrial temperature range.

Applications

Microcontroller Clocking
Provides a stable 16 MHz reference for MCUs and SoCs requiring an external clock source for timing-critical peripherals.
Industrial Automation
Used in PLC modules and sensor interfaces that operate across extended temperature ranges from -40C to +85C.
Battery Powered Devices
Utilizes the low-power standby mode and MultiVolt capability to maximize efficiency in portable electronics.
Communication Interfaces
Supports timing for standard serial protocols and low-speed wireless transceivers.

Getting Started

To implement this part, connect pin 4 to VDD (1.6V-3.6V) and pin 2 to ground, ensuring a 0.01uF to 0.1uF bypass capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VDD pin. Apply a high logic level to pin 1 to enable the output on pin 3, or pull it low to enter a high-impedance standby state.
