TG2016SMN 38.4000M-MFGNNMX

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

Overview

The TG2016SMN is a high-precision Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) operating at 38.4 MHz with a clipped sine wave output. It is housed in an ultra-compact 2.0mm x 1.6mm SMD package, making it suitable for space-constrained wireless communication modules. The device operates from a 2.8V to 3.3V supply and maintains a tight frequency stability of +/-2ppm.

Why Choose This Part

This TCXO offers an excellent balance of precision and power efficiency, featuring a clipped sine wave output that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its wide operating temperature range of -40C to +85C ensures reliable timing for outdoor industrial sensors and mobile hardware.

Applications

GPS and GNSS Receivers
Provides the stable reference clock required for fast satellite acquisition and reliable positioning accuracy.
LTE and 5G IoT Modules
Used as a master clock for narrowband and cellular IoT transceivers that demand high frequency stability.
Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN)
Ideal for Sigfox or LoRa designs where narrow channel spacing requires minimal frequency drift across temperature ranges.
Wearable Electronics
The ultra-low profile height of 0.73mm fits within the thin enclosures of smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Getting Started

When integrating this TCXO, place it as close as possible to the transceiver clock input pin to minimize trace capacitance and interference. Ensure the power supply is well-decoupled with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor, and follow the manufacturer recommendation for a DC-cut capacitor on the clipped sine wave output if the target IC requires it.
