Additional Details
The EA2532FA13-12.000M is typically packaged in a small surface mount package (SMD). The CMOS output waveform is compatible with a wide range of digital logic circuits. The frequency stability specification indicates how much the frequency will deviate over temperature and voltage variations. The operating temperature range determines the environmental conditions in which the oscillator can operate reliably. Ecliptek provides detailed datasheets for the EA2532FA13-12.000M, including specifications for frequency stability, supply voltage, current consumption, and operating temperature range. Proper decoupling capacitors should be placed near the oscillator to minimize noise and ensure stable operation. The oscillator should be placed as close as possible to the microcontroller or microprocessor it is clocking. Crystal oscillators are essential components in virtually all electronic devices that require precise timing. The 12.000 MHz frequency is a common choice for many applications. Careful selection of the crystal oscillator is crucial for achieving optimal system performance.
The EA2532FA13 is a specific series from Ecliptek, and the -12.000M indicates the 12MHz frequency. The datasheet for the exact part number should be consulted for precise specifications, as there may be slight variations depending on the specific model.
