The **ASEMDLP-R** is a specific electronic component within the category of **Industrial Quartz Crystal Oscillators**. It belongs to the **ASEMD** series manufactured by **Abracon**. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications, architecture, and functions. --- ### 1. Component Overview The ASEMDLP-R is a **Low Power, Programmable CMOS Output MEMS Oscillator**. Unlike traditional quartz oscillators, this device uses Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, which provides superior shock and vibration resistance. ### 2. Technical Specifications Table | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Abracon LLC | | **Series** | ASEMD (Industrial Grade) | | **Package Size** | 3.2 x 2.5 x 0.85 mm (SMD) | | **Technology** | MEMS (Silicon based) | | **Output Type** | CMOS | | **Supply Voltage** | 1.8V to 3.3V (Typical) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C (Standard Industrial) | | **Frequency Range** | 1.0 MHz to 150 MHz | | **Suffix "-R"** | Indicates Tape & Reel Packaging | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics #### A. MEMS Technology Instead of a physical quartz crystal, this part uses a silicon resonator. - **Benefits:** High reliability, smaller footprint, and immunity to "crystal aging" or thermal shock. - **Start-up Time:** Extremely fast (typically <5ms). #### B. Power Management (Low Power) The "LP" in the part number often signifies the **Low Power** optimization. This makes it ideal for battery-operated devices where current consumption must be minimized during operation and standby. #### C. Output Drive The **CMOS output** allows it to interface directly with most modern Microcontrollers (MCUs) and FPGAs without needing additional level-shifting circuitry, provided the voltage rails match. --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Consumer Electronics:** Wearables, smartphones, and tablets. * **Industrial:** Embedded computing, sensors, and automation. * **Networking:** IP cameras, routers, and switches. * **Medical:** Portable diagnostic equipment. --- ### 5. Part Number Decoding The suffix **-R** is critical for procurement and assembly: * **R:** Stands for **Tape & Reel**. This means the parts are delivered on a plastic embossed tape wound on a reel, specifically designed for high-speed automated **Pick-and-Place** assembly machines. ---
