Product details

MEMS oscillator at 8 MHz — why this matters for your clock tree

The DSC1030BE1-008.0000T: This is a MEMS-based XO (standard oscillator), not a quartz crystal — the base resonator is a silicon MEMS structure, which means no crystal aging drift and a faster start-up time compared to a quartz resonator plus load capacitors. It delivers a fixed 8 MHz CMOS output from a 3V supply rail, drawing 3 mA typical at full operation and just 1 µA in standby mode when the power-down pin is asserted.

Standby power-down — saving microamps in duty-cycled systems

The standby (power-down) function cuts supply current to 1 µA max, letting the system clock be gated off between active periods — useful for battery-powered sensors or IoT nodes that wake briefly to transmit and sleep the rest of the time.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC1030BE1-008.0000T have a standby (power down) function?

Yes, the part includes a standby (power-down) function. When the enable pin is pulled low, the oscillator stops and the supply current drops to 1 µA max. This is useful for gating the clock in low-power sleep modes.

Is DSC1030BE1-008.0000T a MEMS oscillator?

Yes. The base resonator is a MEMS structure, not a quartz crystal. This means no external load capacitors are needed, and the part has better shock and vibration tolerance than a quartz oscillator.

Can DSC1030BE1-008.0000T be used as a drop-in replacement for a quartz oscillator?

It can replace a standard 8 MHz quartz oscillator in the same 4-SMD package (5.0 x 3.2 mm) if the supply voltage is 3V and the output is CMOS. However, the MEMS start-up time is typically faster, and the standby function may not map directly to a quartz oscillator's enable pin — check the pinout of your existing part.
