Additional Details

The CC-A-24.000-3.3-BTE crystal oscillator typically comes in a ceramic SMD package. It operates at a fundamental frequency of 24 MHz and is designed for use with a 3.3V power supply. Its frequency stability is a crucial specification, usually expressed in parts per million (ppm) over a specified temperature range (e.g., -40°C to +85°C). The oscillator features enable and disable control, which can be used to conserve power when the clock signal is not needed. Its low jitter performance makes it suitable for applications requiring clean clock signals. Start-up time is usually specified to ensure stable oscillation quickly.
