Abracon recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane, and the crystal oscillator should be placed as close as possible to the microcontroller or IC. A minimum of 10 mils (0.25 mm) clearance around the oscillator is recommended to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Abracon recommends following the standard reflow soldering profile, with a peak temperature of 260°C (500°F) for a maximum of 10 seconds. The crystal oscillator should be placed on the PCB in a way that allows for even heat distribution during reflow soldering.
The AB-3.6864MHZ-B2 crystal oscillator is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). However, it's essential to note that the frequency stability and accuracy may degrade at extreme temperatures.
While the AB-3.6864MHZ-B2 is designed to be rugged, it's still a sensitive component. Abracon recommends taking precautions to minimize vibration and shock exposure. If the application requires high vibration resistance, consider using a more specialized crystal oscillator or consulting with Abracon's technical support team.
Common issues with crystal oscillators include incorrect PCB layout, poor soldering, or incorrect component selection. To troubleshoot, verify the PCB layout, check for soldering defects, and ensure the correct component is used. If issues persist, consult Abracon's technical support team or application notes for guidance.
