MONOLITHIC CRYSTAL FILTERS
| 2520 size |
This indicates the outside dimensions of the product. 2520 size indicates a product sized 2.5 by 2.0 in mm, and 3225 size indicates a product sized 3.2 by 2.5 in mm. |
| Attenuation Bandwidth |
Frequency interval at which relative attenuation is guaranteed to be equal to or less than a given value, A2. |
| Combined Capacitance |
Capacitance of the connection between elements for 4 pole filter. |
| Guaranteed Attenuation |
Relative attenuation guaranteed in a specific range within the stop band. |
| Insertion Loss |
Difference in attenuation when filter is inserted and not inserted. Can be either of the following:
Minimum loss: Minimum value of insertion loss
Insertion loss at f0: Insertion loss at nominal frequency |
| Metal-jacket (SMD) type |
Crystal filters attached with an additional metal clip to make it available for surface-mounting. |
| Monolithic Crystal Filters |
A device that has a frequency screening function. From a wide frequency range, it passes a specific frequency and attenuates unnecessary ones. It plays the role of extracting desired frequency in radio communications equipment such as cellular and cordless phones. With the high Q factor of the crystal, these filters feature low loss, steep attenuation characteristics and high stability as well as good temperature drifting characteristics. |
| Nominal Frequency |
Nominal value of center frequency. |
| Operating Temperature Range |
Temperature range over which the quartz device can be operated within allowable deviation range. |
| Pass Bandwidth |
Frequency interval at which relative attenuation is guaranteed to be equal to or less than a given value, A1. |
| Ripple |
The maximum difference between the maximum attenuation and the minimum loss within the pass band. |
| SMD type |
Abbreviation of Surface Mounted Device. It is a generic term used to identify packages which can be mounted to the PCBs. |
| Spurious |
Relative attenuation produced as a result of spurious frequencies in a specific range within the stop band. |
| Storage Temperature Range |
Temperature range, which a quartz device should be stored at without any deterioration or damage. |
| Terminal Impedance |
Signal-source impedance or loading impedance as viewed from the filter side. Expressed as parallel capacitance including resistance and floating capacitance. |
| Tolerance in Group Delay Time |
Difference between the maximum value and minimum value of the group delay time within the pass band. |
