MEMS resonator replaces quartz — what that means for your board
The DSC1033BC2-026.0000T: This is a MEMS-based oscillator, not a quartz crystal — the resonator is a silicon MEMS structure sealed in a package. MEMS oscillators start up faster than quartz (typically under 5 ms vs 10-100 ms for a crystal), and they are more resistant to shock and vibration. The 26 MHz output is CMOS, so it drives the clock input of an MCU or FPGA directly without an external load capacitor network.
Standby function cuts supply to 1 µA
The standby (power-down) function disables the output and reduces current consumption to 1 µA maximum. In normal operation the typical supply current is 3 mA. For a battery-powered device that spends most of its time asleep and wakes periodically to take a sensor reading, the 1 µA standby current means the oscillator's contribution to sleep-mode drain is negligible — well below the self-discharge rate of a coin cell.
Commercial temperature grade — indoor use only
This is the commercial grade — suitable for office equipment, home appliances, indoor networking gear, and consumer electronics. It is not rated for automotive under-hood, outdoor telecom cabinets, or factory-floor environments where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C.
The product status is Active.
