MEMS resonator, not quartz
The ASVMPC-16.000MHZ-EC-T is a standard CMOS-output crystal oscillator running at 16 MHz, built on a MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) resonator rather than a traditional quartz crystal. Abracon calls this the Pure Silicon series — the silicon resonator is etched directly on the die, which gives it better tolerance and temperature stability than a discrete crystal-and-inverter pairing. For timing-critical paths on instrumentation or industrial control boards, that matters. The CMOS output stage drives standard logic inputs directly, no external terminations needed.
Supply rails and current draw
Those numbers are worth flagging if you are power-budgeting a battery-hosted or deeply-sleeping node: the disabled-state draw of 22 mA is not zero, so the Enable/Disable is a power-management feature rather than a hard disconnect. Operating temperature is -20°C to 70°C — commercial grade, not industrial. That rules out engine-bay or outdoor-ambient deployments but is fine for indoor instrumentation, comms equipment, and general-purpose digital boards.
Package and board footprint
The exposed pad under the package is the thermal and ground reference — it should be soldered to the PCB pad, not floating.
