The RO2053A-1 is a one-port, surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator in a surface-mount ceramic case. It
provides reliable, fundamental-mode, quartz frequency stabilization of local oscillatiors operating at 310
MHz. Applications include automotive keyless entry receivers operating in the USA under FCC Part 15 and
in Canada under DoC RSS-210.

Notes:
1.
Lifetime (10 year) frequency aging.
2.
The center frequency, f
C
, is measured at the minimum insertion
loss point, IL
MIN
, with the resonator in the 50
test system (VSWR
1.2:1). The shunt inductance, L
TEST
, is tuned for parallel reso-
nance with C

at f

.

Typically, equipment utilizing this device requires emissions testing
and government approval, which is the responsibility of the equip-
ment manufacturer.

Turnover temperature, T

This equivalent RLC model approximates 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 capaci-
tance with "NC" pads unconnected. Case parasitic capacitance is
approximately 0.05 pF. Transducer parallel capacitance can by
calculated as: C
P
C
O
- 0.05 pF.

Electrical Connections
The SAW resonator is bidirectional and may be in-
stalled with either orientation. The two terminals
are interchangeable and unnumbered. The callout
NC indicates no internal connection. The NC pads
assist with mechanical positioning and stability.
External grounding of the NC pads is recommend-
ed to help reduce parasitic capacitance in the cir-
cuit.
Typical Test Circuit
The test circuit inductor, L
TEST
, is tuned to resonate with the static capaci-
tance, C
O
, at F
C
.

Typical Circuit Board
Land Pattern
The circuit board land pattern shown below is one possible design. The op-
timum 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 capacitance. Trace lengths
from terminal lands to other components should be short and wide to mini-
mize parasitic series inductances.
Case Design
The case material is black alumina with contrasting symbolization. All pads
are nominally centered with respect to the base and consist of 40 to
70 microinches electroless gold on 60-350 micorinches electroless nickel.
