Overview

The TG2016SMN is a high-precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) operating at 38.4 MHz with a clipped sine wave output. This low-power timing solution is designed for applications requiring high frequency stability of +/-0.5ppm over a wide temperature range from -40C to +85C.

Why Choose This Part

The component offers an ultra-compact 2.0mm x 1.6mm footprint and an extremely low profile of 0.73mm, making it suitable for space-constrained wearable designs. It supports a wide supply voltage range from 1.7V to 3.63V while maintaining a low current consumption of approximately 2.0mA.

Applications

GPS/GNSS Receivers
Provides the highly stable reference clock necessary for rapid satellite signal acquisition and precise positioning.
LPWAN Transceivers
Ideal for LoRa or NB-IoT chipsets that require a 38.4 MHz reference to maintain narrow-band frequency accuracy.
Wireless Communication Modules
Serves as a reliable master clock for Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi subsystems in battery-powered devices.

Getting Started

When integrating this TCXO, ensure the clipped sine wave output is AC-coupled to the target IC as per the chipset manufacturer's requirements. Place the oscillator as close as possible to the MCU or RF transceiver clock input pin and include a 10nF bypass capacitor on the Vcc pin to minimize phase jitter.
