The **MHO+52TAG-R** is a specific electronic component primarily identified as a **Crystal Oscillator**. It belongs to the MHO series, which are typically high-precision timing components used to provide a stable clock signal for microprocessors and digital circuits. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the general technical parameters associated with the MHO series (specifically the 52TAG variant): | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Quartz Crystal Oscillator | | **Package / Case** | 14-pin DIP (Full Size) | | **Frequency Range** | Usually 1.0 MHz to 100.0 MHz (Specific to exact model) | | **Output Type** | CMOS / TTL | | **Supply Voltage (Vcc)** | 5.0V DC (Standard for MHO+ series) | | **Stability** | ±50ppm or ±100ppm | | **Operating Temperature** | -10°C to +70°C (Standard Industrial) | --- ## 2. Part Number Breakdown While manufacturer coding varies slightly, the "MHO+52TAG-R" usually breaks down as follows: * **MHO+**: The series prefix, indicating a high-performance metal-packaged oscillator. * **5**: Represents the voltage (often 5V). * **2**: Often denotes the frequency stability (e.g., ±50ppm). * **TAG**: These characters usually refer to specific internal design revisions or output symmetry (e.g., 45/55% duty cycle). * **-R**: Indicates compliance with **RoHS** (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards. --- ## 3. Pin Configuration The MHO+ series in a 14-pin DIP package typically uses only 4 functional pins despite its size: ```markdown Pin 1: NC (No Connection) or Tri-state Enable/Disable Pin 7: Ground (GND) Pin 8: Output (Clock Signal) Pin 14: Vcc (+5V Power Supply) ``` --- ## 4. Key Applications This component is designed for legacy and industrial systems that require robust timing: 1. **Industrial Controllers:** PLC logic and automation timing. 2. **Legacy Computing:** Motherboards and peripheral cards using through-hole technology. 3. **Communication Equipment:** Modems and routers requiring stable baud rate generation. 4. **Test & Measurement:** Oscilloscopes and signal generators.
