Quartz crystals

Find crystals for MCUs, communication modules and timekeeping circuits by frequency, load capacitance and package.

SELECTION STARTS HERE

Make the key requirements clear.

A quartz crystal works with an oscillator circuit inside or outside the host IC. Selection goes beyond frequency and size: review load capacitance, equivalent series resistance (ESR), drive level and operating temperature.

SPECIFICATION CHECKLIST

Parameters to review before inquiry.

ParameterInformation to specify
Nominal frequency & vibration modeExact frequency; fundamental or overtone
Load capacitance CLMatch the host circuit, not just the footprint
ESR & drive levelCheck start-up margin and maximum drive
Tolerance, temperature & agingSpecify initial tolerance, temperature stability and aging separately
If you have an existing part, share its full ordering code and datasheet. Parameter limits, document revisions, samples, minimum order and lead time are confirmed by part.
APPLICATION CONVERSATION

Application discussions

MCUs / IoT modules / RTC timekeeping / industrial control

These are selection topics; suitability depends on the part and application validation.

Can crystals with the same frequency and size be interchanged?

Not on those two attributes alone. CL, ESR, drive level, pads and temperature ratings may differ. Review the specifications and validate the replacement in the target circuit.
