This compact ceramic resonator provides a 16 MHz timing source for microcontroller and digital electronics projects. It functions much like a crystal, while offering a lower-cost option for designs that do not need external load capacitors.

The resonator is supplied in a surface-mount package, making it suitable for compact PCBs and reflow assembly. Its built-in capacitors help simplify your board layout and reduce the number of external parts required.

With operation specified across -40°C to 85°C, it is suited to a range of embedded electronics applications where a simple 16 MHz clock source is needed.

Features:

  • Built-in capacitor
  • No external caps needed
  • Lower-cost alternative to a crystal resonator

Specifications:

  • Type: Ceramic
  • Frequency: 16 MHz
  • Frequency Stability: ±0.3%
  • Frequency Tolerance: ±0.5%
  • Capacitance: 15 pF
  • Impedance: 40 Ohms
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount
  • Dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.051" W (3.20mm x 1.30mm)
  • Height: 0.039" (1.00mm)
  • Mfg Part #: CSTNE16M0V530000R0

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

capacitance
Capacitance is the amount of electrical charge a capacitor can store, usually measured in farads such as uF. Choosing the right capacitance value matters because it affects how well a circuit filters power, handles timing, or stores short bursts of energy.
Impedance
Impedance is the total opposition a component or circuit presents to alternating current, measured in ohms, combining resistance with frequency-dependent reactance. It appears in many contexts, such as matching a speaker's impedance (for example 4 ohm or 8 ohm) to an amplifier or the input and output impedance of signal circuits, and a correct match helps avoid weak signals, distortion or damage.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
Tolerance
Tolerance tells you how far the real resistance value may be from the printed value. A 1% resistor is useful when a circuit needs more predictable behaviour than a looser 5% or 10% part.
