Product details

Active MEMS oscillator for 8 MHz clock sourcing

At 3 mA max supply current and just 1 µA in standby, the oscillator's power budget fits battery-operated or always-on peripherals where the clock tree must stay alive during sleep.

Frequency stability and temperature range

For a 8 MHz output, ±50 ppm translates to a maximum absolute error of ±400 Hz—well within the capture range of most UART, SPI, and I²C interfaces. The -20°C lower limit means the oscillator is specified for indoor or conditioned environments; outdoor equipment exposed to -40°C should look at the DSC1033's industrial-temperature siblings.

Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The 0.50 mm pitch land pattern is common to many MEMS and quartz oscillators in the same footprint—verify the pad layout against your existing 4-pin oscillator land pattern; the no-lead package relies on a solder-paste stencil that matches the pad geometry, not through-hole leads.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1033CE1-008.0000 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not explicitly list RoHS compliance status. Microchip's PureSilicon™ series is generally RoHS-compliant, but confirm the specific date-code lot at RFQ if RoHS certification is required for your BOM.

Can the DSC1033CE1-008.0000 replace a quartz oscillator?

Yes—the DSC1033 is a MEMS-based XO that drops into the same 4-SMD no-lead footprint as many quartz oscillators. The MEMS resonator offers faster startup (typically under 5 ms), better vibration immunity, and no quartz crystal aging drift. However, the ±50 ppm stability is looser than some high-end quartz XOs that guarantee ±25 ppm; check your system's timing budget before substituting.
