Overview

The TG2016SMN 38.4000M-MCGNNM3 is a high-precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) from Epson designed for demanding timing applications. It provides a stable 38.4 MHz clipped sine wave output with a tight frequency stability of +/-500ppb across a wide temperature range. Its compact 2.0mm x 1.6mm footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained wireless communication and navigation hardware.

Why Choose This Part

This TCXO offers exceptional frequency stability of +/-0.5 ppm in an ultra-low profile 0.73mm package. It operates efficiently within a 2.8V to 3.3V supply range and features a clipped sine wave output to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and power consumption.

Applications

GPS/GNSS Receivers
Provides the high-stability reference clock necessary for rapid satellite signal acquisition and precise positioning.
Wireless Communication Modules
Acts as a master clock for RF transceivers in LTE, Wi-Fi, and IoT modules where frequency drift must be minimized.
Base Stations and Small Cells
Ensures synchronization in cellular infrastructure equipment operating in varied outdoor environments.

Getting Started

When integrating this oscillator, place a 0.01 uF bypass capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin and ensure the output trace is short to minimize capacitive loading. Verify that the receiving IC is compatible with a clipped sine wave input, as a DC-coupling capacitor may be required depending on the chipset's input buffer design.
