Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TC-36.000MBE-T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Frequency: 36 MHz
• Output Configuration: CMOS
• Supply Voltage: 3.3V
• Enable/Disable Function: Present
• Frequency Stability: ±50ppm
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package Type: 4-SMD, No Lead
• Physical Footprint: 3.20mm x 2.50mm

The 7X-36.000MBE-T meets all mandatory parameters. The primary difference is the base resonator technology (Crystal vs. MEMS) and maximum supply current specification. Both components deliver identical electrical performance within the specified operating envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The 7X-36.000MBE-T is the direct substitute for TC-36.000MBE-T applications. Both components are manufactured by TXC CORPORATION and provide identical electrical functionality across all critical operating parameters.

Compliance Considerations:

The 7X-36.000MBE-T carries Active product status with RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications, making it suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance documentation. The TC-36.000MBE-T is Obsolete and lacks specified compliance certifications.

Physical Integration:

The 7X-36.000MBE-T has a maximum seated height of 1.10mm compared to 0.80mm for the TC-36.000MBE-T. Verify PCB clearance and component stacking requirements in your specific application before implementation.

Power Supply Considerations:

The 7X-36.000MBE-T operates at a maximum supply current of 20mA, which is 5mA lower than the TC-36.000MBE-T specification of 25mA. This represents improved power efficiency and does not restrict compatibility with existing power supply designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7X-36.000MBE-T directly replace the TC-36.000MBE-T without PCB modifications?

A: The 7X-36.000MBE-T is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent. However, the increased seated height (1.10mm vs. 0.80mm) requires verification of available PCB clearance. No circuit modifications are necessary if vertical space is available.

Q: What is the difference between MEMS and Crystal resonators in these parts?

A: The TC-36.000MBE-T uses MEMS technology while the 7X-36.000MBE-T uses Crystal technology. Both deliver identical frequency stability (±50ppm) and operating characteristics within the specified temperature range. The resonator technology difference does not affect electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Is the 7X-36.000MBE-T suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The 7X-36.000MBE-T carries Active product status and includes RoHS Compliance certification, making it appropriate for new product development and long-term supply chain planning.

Q: What packaging options are available for the 7X-36.000MBE-T?

A: The 7X-36.000MBE-T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The TC-36.000MBE-T packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are there any current supply differences that affect circuit design?

A: The 7X-36.000MBE-T maximum supply current is 20mA versus 25mA for the TC-36.000MBE-T. This 5mA reduction improves power efficiency and does not create compatibility issues with existing power supply designs rated for the original 25mA specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 7X-36.000MBE-T is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The TC-36.000MBE-T compliance status is not specified. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8542.39.0001 HTSUS code.
