MEMS oscillator replacing a quartz can
The DSC1001CE1-015.7500 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip Technology's DSC1001 series, delivering a fixed 15.75 MHz CMOS output with ±50 ppm frequency stability across its -20°C to 70°C operating range. It runs on a 1.8V to 3.3V supply, drawing 6.3 mA max in active mode and just 15 µA in standby (power down) — the standby pin lets the system shut the oscillator off when the clock tree is idle.
Automotive-grade timing for the BOM
AEC-Q100 qualified, this oscillator is rated for automotive environments where shock, vibration, and thermal cycling would stress a quartz crystal.
The oscillator starts up from standby faster than a quartz crystal, so the system is ready before the first bus frame arrives.
Package and footprint for pick-and-place
Housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a seated height of 0.90mm. The standard 4-pad land pattern matches common oscillator footprints — no via-in-pad or exotic stencil required. Surface-mount placement runs on any standard pick-and-place line.
