Crystal Oscillator 32MHz

The Crystal Oscillator 32MHz is a 32 MHz quartz crystal that gives an oscillator circuit a stable, accurate reference frequency. 32 MHz is a standard reference value used by some Bluetooth and LoRa radio chips and by high-speed digital and clock circuits. Check that your chip's oscillator supports 32 MHz before using it, because many 8-bit microcontrollers are limited to 20 MHz.

Crystal Oscillator 32MHz Specifications

• Frequency: 32 MHz
• Type: quartz crystal, two-terminal (passive), needs an oscillator circuit to run
• Load capacitors: one small ceramic capacitor from each pin to GND; the value depends on the crystal's load capacitance and the chip's datasheet
• Polarity: none, can be fitted either way round

Crystal Oscillator 32MHz Applications

• Reference clock for RF transceivers and radio modules designed for 32 MHz
• Microcontrollers and processors whose oscillator accepts a 32 MHz crystal
• Crystal oscillator circuits and clock generators in digital electronics
• Replacing a faulty 32 MHz crystal when repairing a board
• Frequency and timing experiments in electronics labs

What's in the Box

• 1 × 32 MHz crystal

Tip: Place the crystal and its load capacitors as close as possible to the chip's oscillator pins, with short tracks and a solid ground, because stray capacitance and long leads matter more at 32 MHz. If the oscillator does not start, confirm that the chip supports this frequency and adjust the load capacitor values.
