The **MHO+11FBG-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **crystal oscillators**, specifically from manufacturers like **MtronPTI**. These components are critical for providing a stable clock signal in electronic circuits. Below is a breakdown of the electronic specifications and characteristics of this part. --- ### 1. Component Overview The MHO series generally refers to **Metal Half-Size (DIP-8)** crystal oscillators. These are "active" components, meaning they require a power supply to generate an oscillating square wave output. ### 2. Technical Specifications While specific suffixes can vary by manufacturer batches, the standard parameters for the MHO series are as follows: | Parameter | Typical Value / Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Package Type** | DIP-8 (Half-Size Metal Can) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole | | **Output Type** | HCMOS / TTL Compatible | | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | Usually 5.0V (Standard for MHO series) | | **Frequency Stability** | Typically ±100ppm, ±50ppm, or ±25ppm | | **Operating Temperature** | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial) or -40°C to +85°C (Industrial) | | **RoHS Status** | The "R" suffix usually denotes **RoHS Compliant** | --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (DIP-8 Half-Size) Even though the package has 8 pin positions, usually only 4 pins are physically present: * **Pin 1:** N/C (No Connection) or Tri-state Control (Enable/Disable). * **Pin 4:** Ground (Case Ground). * **Pin 5:** Output (The generated clock signal). * **Pin 8:** Vcc (+5V Power Supply). --- ### 4. Key Features * **Hermetically Sealed:** The metal enclosure protects the quartz crystal from atmospheric moisture and provides EMI shielding. * **Fixed Frequency:** Unlike a VCXO (Voltage Controlled), this provides a fixed frequency set at the factory. * **Stability:** Offers significantly better frequency stability over temperature compared to ceramic resonators or RC circuits. ### 5. Common Applications * Microprocessor and Microcontroller clocking. * Digital Signal Processing (DSP). * Networking equipment (Ethernet/Routers). * Industrial control systems. ---
