CB3LV-3C-12M000000 – CTS

The CB3LV-3C-12M000000 from CTS Corporation is a crystal oscillator (XO) providing a stable 12.0000 MHz output frequency. This device utilizes quartz crystal resonator technology to generate the specified frequency with a typical frequency stability dictated by the “3C” designation, which commonly indicates a stability of ±50 ppm over the operating temperature range. The output signal is compatible with HCMOS/TTL logic levels, facilitating integration with a wide range of digital circuits. The oscillator requires a supply voltage, typically 3.3V or 5V depending on the specific datasheet, and exhibits a low current consumption characteristic of CMOS-based oscillators. Its primary function is to provide a precise and reliable clock signal for microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other digital systems requiring accurate timing. The CB3LV series is often available in a surface-mount package, such as a 3.2 x 2.5 mm ceramic package, for automated assembly.
