DMTL is now offering new generation crystal devices from AVX. The CX3225xx series parts are small, low profile surface mount devices, available in two and four-terminal options. Applications include automotive safety, engine management and communications systems and other consumer products that rely on electronics for control. All the devices are available as AEC-Q200 qualified components. There are three key models in the CX3225xx series, all capable of operating up to 54MHz. In what is expected to be become the industry standard footprint for this type of component, the new devices all measure 3.2x2.5mm with a very low profile height off the board dependent on model. The CX3255GA features a frequency range of 9.8 to 54MHz with a frequency deviation of ± 30ppm at 25ºC or ± 150ppm across the operating temperature range of -40 to +125ºC and maintains conductivity after 3000 cycles. Maximum height off the board is just 0.95mm. The CX3225CA offers the same frequency range, a temperature range up to 125ºC and a height off the board of 0.9mm. Both models are particularly suited for automotive ECU and air bag applications. The CX3225SB offers a frequency range of 12 to 54MHz with frequency deviation of just ±15ppm at 25ºC. Operating temperature range is up to 150ºC. Height off the board is just 0.6mm max.
