Product details

The DSC1001AI5-072.0000 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC1001 series, delivering a 72 MHz CMOS output with ±10 ppm frequency stability. The 1.8V to 3.3V supply range lets it run from a common 3.3V rail or a lower-voltage core supply without a separate regulator.

For a sensor node that sleeps 99% of the time, this keeps the oscillator's own draw below the microcontroller's deep-sleep current — the battery sees the MEMS oscillator as a negligible load during sleep. The CMOS output swings rail-to-rail, directly driving the clock input of most MCUs and FPGAs without external level translation.

Housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead exposed-pad package measuring 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1001AI5-072.0000 compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes — the supply voltage range is 1.8V to 3.3V, and the CMOS output swings rail-to-rail. At 3.3V supply, the output high level meets 3.3V logic thresholds directly.

Does DSC1001AI5-072.0000 have a standby power-down function?

Yes. The standby (power down) function disables the output and reduces supply current to 15 µA max. Pull the enable pin low to enter standby; pull it high for normal operation.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to DSC1001AI5-072.0000?

Within the DSC1001 series, other frequency variants share the same 4-SMD package and pinout — for example, DSC1001AI5-050.0000 for 50 MHz. For a different stability grade, the DSC1001AI series offers ±10 ppm, ±25 ppm, and ±50 ppm options in the same footprint. Confirm the exact frequency and stability before substituting.
