AWSCR-10.00CELB-C10-T3 - ABRACON

AWSCR-10.00CELB-C10-T3 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 this device?
  Abracon recommends using ESD protection devices, such as TVS diodes or ESD arrays, on the input and output pins of the crystal oscillator to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
• What is the operating temperature range for this device?
  The AWSCR-10.00CELB-C10-T3 is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, but it's essential to note that the frequency stability and accuracy may vary outside the recommended operating temperature range.
• Can I use this crystal oscillator in a high-vibration environment?
  Abracon recommends using a vibration-resistant mounting method, such as a rigidly mounted PCB or a vibration-dampening material, to minimize the effects of vibration on the crystal oscillator's performance.
• How do I ensure the crystal oscillator is properly soldered?
  Abracon recommends using a controlled soldering process with a peak temperature of 260°C (500°F) and a dwell time of 10 seconds or less to prevent damage to the device. A soldering iron with a fine tip and a low-wattage setting is recommended.
