PRTC/PRQV SeriesTIMINGDEVICESSmall Size Resonator PRTC/PRQV SeriesAutomotive, HDD, Etc. (Murata Compatible)Being one of the industry leaders in ceramic resonator business, AVX offers super miniatureresonators PRTC and PRQV which are ideal for consumer and automotive applications. ThePRTC series measures just 2.5x2.0mm, and suitable for low profile and limited board spaceapplications such as small hard disc drives and smart cards. PRTC offers frequency range from20MHz up to 60MHz with 0.25% total tolerance option available for USB2.0.PRQV was designed to meet the demands of harsh environment applications, typicallyrequired in the automotive field where quality and reliability are crucial. Utilizing AVX Kyocera’stechnology in piezo ceramics, PRQV has an extended operating temperature range of up to+150°C with frequency range of 8MHz to 20MHz and still maintains the 3.2x1.3mm small size.The PRQV conductive polymer termination reduces the mechanical stress being applied to thedevice, further enhancing the reliability to meet the automotive industry’s higher expectations.Applications:• Clock timing for general purpose• Hard disc drives• Bar code readers• USB2.0 applications• Various automotive electronic controllers• CANbusKey Features/Benefits:• Enables high density mounting forlimited board space applications• Higher resistance against mechanicalstress• Offers tighter frequency toleranceoptions (PRTC 0.25% and PRQV 0.3%)for USB2.0 and CANbus• Comes with free of charge service forcharacterizing with microcontrollers usedin custom applications• RoHS compliant• Washable (PRQV)14
