38.4 MHz TCXO Clipped Sine Wave Oscillator 2.8V ~ 3.3V 4-SMD, No Lead
Active

Overview

The TG2016SMN is a highly stable Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) designed for precision timing in wireless communication systems. It provides a 38.4 MHz clipped sine wave output with a frequency stability of +/-2ppm across a wide operating temperature range from -40C to +85C. This component is housed in an ultra-compact 2.0mm x 1.6mm package, making it ideal for space-constrained mobile and RF applications.

Why Choose This Part

This TCXO features an extremely small footprint of 2.0mm x 1.6mm and a maximum height of 0.73mm, saving significant PCB area. It operates efficiently with a low current consumption of 2.0mA and supports a supply voltage range from 2.8V to 3.3V, matching modern low-voltage digital and RF power rails.

Getting Started

To integrate this part, ensure the clipped sine wave output is AC-coupled if required by the downstream RF IC or MCU clock input. Design the PCB layout with a dedicated ground plane directly beneath the oscillator and place a 0.01uF to 0.1uF bypass capacitor as close to the Vcc pin as possible to minimize phase noise.
