Product details
Overview
QB-144GJ-EA-01S from Renesas Electronics is a surface-mount quartz crystal unit with fundamental-mode AT-cut resonator, 14.4 MHz nominal frequency, ±10 ppm frequency tolerance at 25°C, and 18 pF load capacitance. It serves as the primary timing reference in microcontroller-based industrial control modules requiring stable clocking under thermal variation.
For engineers reviewing the QB-144GJ-EA-01S datasheet, QB-144GJ-EA-01S pinout, QB-144GJ-EA-01S application, or QB-144GJ-EA-01S equivalent, key selection criteria include frequency stability over −20°C to +70°C, drive level limit of 100 µW, and series resistance of 40 Ω max - all critical for low-jitter MCU boot and real-time peripheral synchronization.
Technical Context
This 2-pin SMD crystal operates in fundamental mode using an AT-cut quartz blank, optimized for parallel-resonant configuration with external load capacitors. Its motional parameters - including series resistance (ESR), shunt capacitance (C₀), and motional capacitance (C₁) - are calibrated to meet JEDEC JESD22-A108 reliability stress standards.
The QB-144GJ-EA-01S is specified for operation across −20°C to +70°C ambient range with aging of ≤±3 ppm/year, and supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D. It requires no internal oscillator circuitry and relies on external CMOS or Pierce-type oscillator circuits for oscillation startup and sustain.

FAQ
What is the nominal frequency and tolerance of QB-144GJ-EA-01S?
QB-144GJ-EA-01S has a nominal frequency of 14.4 MHz with a frequency tolerance of ±10 ppm at 25°C. This specification is measured under standard test conditions defined in the R20UT1028EJ0101 datasheet revision 1.01. The tolerance remains within ±15 ppm across the full −20°C to +70°C operating range, supporting robust timing in thermally variable industrial enclosures.
Does QB-144GJ-EA-01S require external load capacitors?
Yes, QB-144GJ-EA-01S requires two external load capacitors - one connected from each terminal to ground - sized to achieve the specified 18 pF total load capacitance. Typical implementation uses two 33 pF NP0/C0G capacitors in a Pierce oscillator configuration, accounting for PCB stray capacitance (~3–5 pF per node).
What is the maximum drive level rating for QB-144GJ-EA-01S?
QB-144GJ-EA-01S is rated for a maximum drive level of 100 µW. Exceeding this level risks accelerated aging or activity dip, particularly during reflow or high-temperature operation. Designers must verify oscillator circuit negative resistance and current limiting to ensure sustained drive level compliance throughout product lifetime.
Is QB-144GJ-EA-01S compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes, QB-144GJ-EA-01S supports lead-free reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak temperature up to 260°C for ≤10 seconds. The ceramic 3225 package and metallization system are qualified for standard Pb-free thermal profiles, including ramp-to-spike and soak profiles used in high-volume SMT lines.
What is the series resistance (ESR) specification for QB-144GJ-EA-01S?
The maximum series resistance (ESR) for QB-144GJ-EA-01S is 40 Ω, measured at the nominal frequency of 14.4 MHz. This value is critical for ensuring sufficient negative resistance margin in oscillator designs - typically requiring ≥5× ESR - to guarantee reliable startup and sustained oscillation across voltage, temperature, and aging conditions.
