Here's a Description of its key Characteristics:

Frequency: The oscillator operates at a frequency of 8 MHz, meaning it generates 8 million cycles per second. This frequency is commonly used in various digital systems, microcontrollers, and communication equipment where a moderate clock speed is required.

Crystal: Like other crystal oscillators, it utilizes a crystal (often made of quartz) to provide a stable and precise frequency output. Quartz crystals are preferred for their piezoelectric properties, which ensure accurate frequency generation.

Half Size: The "half-size" designation indicates that this oscillator is more compact than standard variants, making it suitable for applications where space-saving is essential or where smaller components are preferred. This could be beneficial for devices with limited board space or where size constraints are a concern.

Accuracy and Stability: Crystal oscillators are known for their high accuracy and stability, maintaining their frequency output reliably over time and under varying environmental conditions such as temperature changes.
