MEMS oscillator replaces quartz at 14.7456 MHz
The DSC1030BI1-014.7456T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's PureSilicon™ series, delivering a 14.7456 MHz CMOS output from a 3V supply rail. Unlike a quartz crystal oscillator, the MEMS resonator is immune to vibration-induced frequency jumps and starts up faster — useful in portable or industrial gear where a quartz can would be a mechanical weak point.
Power budget: 3 mA active, 1 µA standby
Maximum supply current is 3 mA (typical) while oscillating, and drops to 1 µA when the standby (power-down) function is asserted. For a battery-powered sensor logging data once per second, the oscillator's active duty cycle is short enough that the 1 µA standby dominates the average — so the system sleep current stays under the microcontroller's own deep-sleep floor.
Footprint and temperature range
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — the same footprint as a standard 5x3.2 mm quartz oscillator.
