Product details

MEMS oscillator with standby — what the specs mean for the BOM

Microchip has classified the DSC1033AI2-008.0000T as Obsolete. The part ships in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, no-lead exposed-pad footprint (7.00 mm x 5.00 mm x 0.90 mm).

Design-in note: standby function and the enable pin

The standby (power-down) function is the key feature that distinguishes this oscillator from simpler fixed-output XOs. The output goes high-impedance — the downstream load sees a floating clock line, so the receiving device must handle a clock-loss condition gracefully or have a pull-down on the clock input. The ±25 ppm stability is specified at 3.3 V ±10% — keep the supply rail within that tolerance across the load range to avoid frequency drift.

Frequently asked questions

What is the recommended replacement for the obsolete DSC1033AI2-008.0000T?

Microchip has not published a direct pin-compatible successor for the DSC1033AI2-008.0000T. The DSC1033 series includes other frequency and stability variants, but no single order code is listed as a drop-in replacement. For a new design, consider the active DSC1001 or DSC1121 families from Microchip, which offer similar MEMS-based performance in the same 4-SMD footprint with standby capability. Confirm pinout and enable polarity before committing.

Where can I find the datasheet for the DSC1033AI2-008.0000T?

The datasheet for the DSC1033AI2-008.0000T is available from Microchip's website under the DSC1033 series product page. The part number is listed under the PureSilicon™ MEMS oscillator family. The datasheet covers the full parametric table including frequency stability vs. temperature, supply current vs. load, and the standby function timing diagram.

What is the standby function on the DSC1033AI2-008.0000T?

The standby (power-down) function shuts down the MEMS resonator and output driver when the enable pin is pulled low. The supply current drops from 3 mA typ to 1 µA max, and the output goes high-impedance. This is useful for battery-operated systems that need to disable the clock between active periods.
