MEMS oscillator for tight-timing, low-power designs
Unlike a quartz crystal that needs external load capacitors and an inverter, this XO (Standard) integrates the resonator and oscillator in one 4-SMD package — a drop-in clock source for MCUs, FPGAs, and communication controllers.
The standby (power-down) function on this oscillator disables the output and reduces current draw to 1 µA max, letting the system clock gate without an external load-switch or GPIO-controlled enable. For a sensor node that wakes every 10 seconds to take a reading, the 3 mA active current runs for milliseconds while the 1 µA standby dominates the rest of the duty cycle — the average current stays well below 100 µA.
Package and footprint for hand-solder and reflow
Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a standard footprint that matches many quartz oscillator packages, so a board layout designed for a 5x3.2 mm can accepts this MEMS part without a spin. No hidden leads under the body.
