Why a MEMS oscillator beats quartz for this BOM slot
Supply voltage spans 1.8V to 3.3V, covering 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic rails without a level translator — one part number serves multiple core voltages across a mixed-voltage board.
Maximum supply current is 6.5 mA, so the active power draw is modest; the standby mode cuts that further when the system is idle.
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead Exposed Pad package measuring 7.00mm x 5.00mm with a seated height of 0.90mm — a standard footprint that matches many quartz oscillator pinouts, simplifying a drop-in swap. Surface-mount assembly; the exposed pad aids thermal transfer if the board runs hot, though the 6.5 mA max current means self-heating is minimal.
