FAQ
What is the nominal frequency and operating mode of the VXM9-9011-51M8400000?
The VXM9-9011-51M8400000 is a 51.84 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut quartz crystal resonator. It operates in fundamental mode-not overtone-and is designed for use in Pierce oscillator configurations with a specified load capacitance of 12 pF. This frequency is commonly used for Ethernet PHY clocking and telecom synchronization applications.
What is the frequency stability specification for the VXM9-9011-51M8400000 over temperature?
The VXM9-9011-51M8400000 has a total frequency stability of ±10 ppm over the operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. This includes contributions from initial tolerance, temperature variation, aging, and reflow effects, meeting Stratum 3E requirements for telecom infrastructure timing references.
Does the VXM9-9011-51M8400000 require external load capacitors, and what value is needed?
Yes, the VXM9-9011-51M8400000 requires external load capacitors to operate at its nominal frequency. Its specified load capacitance is 12 pF, meaning two identical capacitors (typically ~22–24 pF each, accounting for PCB stray capacitance) must be placed between each crystal terminal and ground in a standard Pierce oscillator configuration.
What is the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of the VXM9-9011-51M8400000, and why does it matter?
The VXM9-9011-51M8400000 has an ESR of 80 Ω at 51.84 MHz. Low ESR ensures sufficient negative resistance margin in oscillator circuits-critical for reliable start-up, low phase noise, and immunity to voltage/temperature variations. Values above 100 Ω may cause marginal or failed oscillation in low-power or high-frequency ICs.
Is the VXM9-9011-51M8400000 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the VXM9-9011-51M8400000 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow. Its gold-over-nickel terminations meet J-STD-020 requirements, supporting peak temperatures up to 260 °C with time above 217 °C between 60–150 seconds. It is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely before assembly without baking.
