MEMS XO at 60 MHz — what the headline specs mean for your clock rail
The ASEMB-60.000MHZ-XY-T is a MEMS-based standard crystal oscillator delivering a 60 MHz CMOS output at ±10ppm frequency stability across its operating temperature band. The ±10ppm stability covers the combined initial tolerance, temperature drift, and aging spread — most digital logic families accept this comfortably for clock reference and bus timing without per-unit calibration. At 60 MHz the CMOS output swing sits rail-to-rail into a standard TTL/CMOS input threshold, making it a drop-in clock source for MCU, FPGA, or PHY clock trees without level-shifting. The resonator is silicon MEMS rather than quartz, which gives it superior shock and vibration immunity — an important selection factor in motor-drive enclosures and portable equipment where mechanical robustness matters.
Standby pin and the disable-current spec
The standby (power-down) function asserts a hardware enable/disable on the output. When disabled the part draws a maximum of 15 µA — this is the relevant figure for battery-powered or duty-cycled designs where the clock is held off between active measurement or transmission windows. The 16 mA active supply current is the numerator in your power budget during the run state; the 15 µA disable figure is what determines how little drain the idle state imposes. A sensor node that wakes once per minute and holds the clock in standby for 59 seconds of every minute will see average current dominated by the active window, not the standby floor.
The wide supply range also means a single BOM line covers 1.8 V IoT modules and 3.3 V industrial controllers — useful for families where the clock source is specified before the rail voltage is finalised.
3.2mm × 2.5mm ultra-thin package for dense board layouts
The ultra-thin 0.90 mm profile clears low-clearance enclosures where taller canister oscillators would not fit. Tape-and-reel and cut-tape packaging covers both high-volume SMT assembly (reel) and low-quantity prototyping or rework (cut tape).
