CM309S12 crystals and oscillator Series

citizen

The CM309S12 series from Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. is a lineup of surface-mount crystals designed for precision timing in various electronic devices. These crystals feature a 18 picofarad (pF) load capacitance, which makes them suitable for a range of applications where stability and accuracy are critical. If you're working on designs that require high-frequency oscillators, these crystals are a reliable choice. One thing worth noting is their compact size, making them ideal for space-constrained applications like smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices. Engineers tend to reach for these when they need a small, precise timing solution without compromising on performance. The CM309S12 series typically operates in the 32.768 kHz frequency range, which is perfect for real-time clocks and other timekeeping functions. Another practical use case is in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules, where maintaining accurate timing is crucial for reliable communication. These crystals ensure that your BLE device stays synchronized and performs optimally. Additionally, they are commonly found in medical devices and automotive electronics, where precise timing can be a matter of safety and functionality
