RP Series TO39 Two-Port SAW Resonators
Electrical Connections
This two-port, three-terminal SAW resonator is bidirectional.
However, impedances and circuit board parasitics may not be
symmetrical, requiring slightly different oscillator component-
matching values.

Typical Application Circuits
This SAW resonator can be used in oscillator or transmitter de-
signs that require 180° phase shift at resonance in a two-port
configuration. One-port resonators can be simulated, as
shown, by connecting pins 1 and 2 together. However, for most
low-cost consumer products, this is only recommended for ret-
rofit applications and not for new designs.

Typical Circuit Board Land Pattern
The circuit board land pattern shown below is one possible de-
sign. The optimum land pattern is dependent on the circuit
board assembly process which varies by manufacturer. The
distance between adjacent land edges should be at a maximum
to minimize parasitic ca-
pacitance. Trace lengths
from terminal lands to oth-
er components should be
short and wide to minimize
parasitic series inductanc-
es.

RO and RP Series Notes
1)
Frequency aging is the change in f
C
with time and is specified at +65°C or less. Aging may exceed the specification for
prolonged temperatures above +65°C. Typically, aging is greatest the first year after manufacture, decreasing signifi-
cantly in subsequent years.
The frequency f
C
is the frequency of minimum IL with the resonator in the specified test fixture in a 50
Ω
test system
with VSWR
≤
1.2:1. Typically, f
OSCILLATOR
or f
TRANSMITTER
is less than the resonator f
C
. |F
A
| is typically ±10 ppm/
year.
One or more of the following United States patents apply: 4,454,488; 4,616,197, and others pending.
Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing and government approval, which is the responsibil-
ity of the equipment manufacturer.
Unless noted otherwise, case temperature T
C
= +25°C± 5°C
The design, manufacturing process, and specifications of this device are subject to change without notice.
Derived mathematically from one or more of the following directly measured parameters: f
C
, IL, 3 dB bandwidth, f
C
versus T
C
, and C
O
.
Turnover temperature, T
O
, is the temperature of maximum (or turnover) frequency, f
O
. The nominal frequency at any
case temperature, T
C
, may be calculated from: f = f
O
[1 - FTC (T
O
- T
C
)
2
]. Typically,
oscillator
T
O
is 20° less than the
specified
resonator
T

.

provided for reference only. The capacitance C
O
is the static (nonmotional) capacitance between the two terminals mea-
sured 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 calcu-

This equivalent RLC model approximates RO TO39 resonator performance near the resonant frequency and is provided
for reference only. The capacitance C
O
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 a floating case.
For usual grounded case applications (with ground connected to either pin 1 or pin 2 and to the case), add approximately
0.25 pF to C
O
.
This equivalent RLC model approximates RP TO39 resonator performance near the resonant frequency and is provided
for reference only. The capacitance C
O
is the measured static (nonmotional) capacitance between either pin 1 and
ground or pin 2 and ground. The measurement includes case parasitic capacitance.
The typical FTC for TO-39 resonators is 0.037 ppm/°C
2
and the typical FTC for SMRs is 0.032 ppm/°C
2
.
The DC insulation resistance between any two pins is a minimum of 1 MΩ.
The DC voltage between any two pins (observe ESD precautions) is ±30 VDC.
The case temperature is rated between -40° to +85°C.
Soldering temperature is +250°C.
Maximum nominal insertion phase shift at resonance is 180° for the RP series.
