The RO2160A is a true one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a surface-mount, ceramic case.
It provides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of fixed-frequency transmitters operat-
ing at 433.90 MHz. This SAW is designed for AM transmitters in automotive-keyless-entry applications.

Notes:
1.
Lifetime (10 year) frequency aging.
2.
The center frequency, fC, is measured at the minimum insertion loss point,
ILMIN, with the resonator in the 50 test system (VSWR ≤ 1.2:1). The shunt
inductance, LTEST, is tuned for parallel resonance with CO at fC.
3.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488 and
4,616,197.
4.
Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and gov-
ernment approval, which is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer.
5.
Unless noted otherwise, case temperature TC = +25°C±2°C for all specifica-
tions.
6.
The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are sub-
ject to change without notice.
7.
Derived mathematically from one or more of the following directly measured
parameters: fC, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, fC versus TC, and CO.
8.
Turnover temperature, TO, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) fre-
quency, fO. The nominal frequency at any case temperature, TC, may be cal-
culated from: f= fO [1- FTC (TO -TC)
2].
9.
This equivalent RLC model approximates resonator performance near the
resonant frequency and is provided for reference only. The capacitance CO is
the static (nonmotional) capacitance between the two terminals measured at
low frequency (10 MHz) with a capacitance meter. The measurement
includes parasitic capacitance with “NC” pads unconnected. Case parasitic
capacitance is approximately 0.05 pF. Transducer parallel capacitance can
be calculated as: CP ≈ CO - 0.05 pF.
