Product Overview
Murata CSTLS8M00G53Z-B0 is an 8.00 MHz ceramic resonator from the CERALOCK CSTLS series, featuring built-in 15 pF load capacitors in a 3-pin radial package. Designed for microcontroller system clocks and clock-generator circuits, the internal capacitors eliminate the need for external loading caps to simplify PCB layout and reduce component count.
Key Features
- 8.00 MHz nominal oscillating frequency
- Integrated 15 pF load capacitors for streamlined clock circuits
- Initial frequency tolerance of ±0.5% with ±0.2% temperature stability
- 3-pin radial through-hole package with 2.5 mm lead spacing
- Blue conformal epoxy encapsulation
Applications
- Clock generation for microcontrollers, microprocessors, and digital logic boards
- Replacing failing resonators on vintage electronic controls and appliance boards
- Breadboard prototyping for hobbyist embedded projects requiring a stable 8 MHz reference
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pinout configuration for this 3-pin resonator?
The outer pins connect to the clock input and output terminals of the oscillator inverter circuit, while the center pin connects directly to circuit ground.
Do I need external load capacitors with this resonator?
No. This model integrates 15 pF load capacitors from each active lead to the center ground pin.
How does this 3-pin resonator differ from a 2-pin ceramic resonator or quartz crystal?
Standard quartz crystals and 2-pin resonators require two external capacitors to establish the oscillation loop. This 3-pin CERALOCK packages the resonator element and both 15 pF load capacitors into a single component, connecting the load ground through the middle lead.
Nothing steadies a jittery circuit quite like an honest clock signal that drops right into place without extra parts. Plug it in, ground the center, and let the timing take care of itself.
