ASV-14.31818MHZ-EJ-T - ABRACON

ASV-14.31818MHZ-EJ-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  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 device is recommended.
• How do I handle ESD protection for the ASV-14.31818MHZ-EJ-T?
  Abracon recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, on the PCB to protect the crystal oscillator from electrostatic discharge. Additionally, handling the device with an anti-static wrist strap or mat is recommended.
• What is the operating temperature range for this device?
  The ASV-14.31818MHZ-EJ-T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, but it's recommended to operate within -20°C to +70°C for optimal performance and stability.
• Can I use this crystal oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  The ASV-14.31818MHZ-EJ-T is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels, but it's not recommended for high-vibration environments. If your application requires high vibration resistance, consider using a more ruggedized crystal oscillator or consulting with Abracon's technical support team.
• How do I ensure the crystal oscillator is properly soldered?
  Abracon recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C, and a soldering time of 3 to 5 seconds. Ensure the soldering iron is clean and well-tinned to prevent oxidation. Avoid applying excessive force or pressure during soldering.
