AWSCR-12.00CELA-C33-T3 - ABRACON

AWSCR-12.00CELA-C33-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 PCB to protect the AWSCR-12.00CELA-C33-T3 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 AWSCR-12.00CELA-C33-T3 is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, but it's recommended to derate the frequency tolerance and stability over the full temperature range.
• Can I use this device in a high-vibration environment?
  Abracon recommends that the AWSCR-12.00CELA-C33-T3 be used in environments with vibration levels below 10 G. For higher vibration levels, additional mechanical support or mounting may be required to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the device is properly soldered?
  Abracon recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and a soldering time of 3-5 seconds. The device should be soldered in a way that minimizes mechanical stress and ensures good thermal conductivity.
