# Introduction to the NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD Product Series
## Overview
The NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD product series represents a pinnacle of precision and reliability in the field of electronic components. Engineered to meet the most demanding requirements of modern electronic systems, this series offers a range of features and benefits that make it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications.
## Physical Characteristics
### Package Dimensions
The NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD comes in a compact 2520 package size. With dimensions carefully optimized, it is designed to fit seamlessly into space - constrained circuit boards. The 2520 package typically refers to a length of 2.5mm and a width of 2.0mm, allowing for high - density PCB layouts. This small form factor is crucial in applications such as mobile devices, wearables, and miniaturized IoT sensors, where every square millimeter of board space is valuable.
### Mounting
It is surface - mountable, which simplifies the manufacturing process. Surface - mount technology (SMT) enables automated assembly, reducing production time and costs. The components can be quickly and accurately placed on the PCB using pick - and - place machines, and then soldered in a reflow oven, ensuring a reliable and consistent connection.
## Electrical Performance
### Frequency Stability
One of the key features of the NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD series is its exceptional frequency stability. Operating at a nominal frequency of 26.000MHz, it maintains a high level of accuracy over a wide range of environmental conditions. This stability is essential for applications such as wireless communication systems, where precise frequency control is required for proper signal transmission and reception. For example, in a Wi - Fi router, the accurate 26.000MHz frequency ensures stable data transfer rates and reliable connectivity.
### Low Jitter
The series exhibits low jitter characteristics. Jitter refers to the variation in the timing of a signal, and low jitter is crucial for high - speed data transmission. In applications like high - definition video streaming or high - speed data communication interfaces (such as USB 3.0 or Ethernet), low jitter ensures that the data is transmitted and received without errors, resulting in smooth and uninterrupted operation.
### Low Phase Noise
Phase noise is another important parameter in electronic components. The NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD series has low phase noise, which is beneficial in applications such as radio frequency (RF) systems. Low phase noise helps to improve the signal - to - noise ratio, enhancing the overall performance of the RF system and reducing interference.
## Environmental Resistance
### Temperature Range
The product is designed to operate within a wide temperature range. It can withstand temperatures from - 40°C to + 85°C, making it suitable for use in various environments. Whether it is in a cold outdoor setting or a hot industrial environment, the NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD can maintain its performance and reliability.
### Humidity Resistance
It also has good humidity resistance. High humidity can cause corrosion and other issues in electronic components, but this series is engineered to resist the effects of moisture. This makes it suitable for applications in humid environments, such as coastal areas or indoor environments with high humidity levels.
## Applications
### Mobile Devices
In smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, the NX2520SA - 26.000M - STD is used for clock generation and frequency control. It helps to ensure the proper functioning of the device's wireless communication modules,
