Product details

15.36 MHz MEMS clock source for industrial boards

The DSC1033CI2-015.3600 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator delivering a 15.36 MHz CMOS output from a 3.3 V supply rail. The MEMS resonator replaces a quartz crystal, giving it better shock and vibration tolerance than a traditional can oscillator — useful if the board sees a drop test or ships in a panel that gets bolted to a vibrating cabinet.

Power budget and standby control

Typical supply current is 3 mA while running, which keeps the thermal contribution low in a dense 4-SMD layout. When the system enters sleep, the Standby (Power Down) function drops the disable current to 1 µA max — that is low enough to leave the oscillator powered from a coin-cell backup without draining it overnight.

Package, footprint, and rework

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 no-lead land pattern is straightforward to route on a two-layer board, and the small body leaves room for passives around it. Under a hot-air station the part lifts clean if the pad is pre-tinned — the MEMS die inside has no quartz can to crack from thermal shock.

Microchip lists the DSC1033CI2-015.3600 as Active — it is in production and available for new designs.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1033CI2-015.3600 a direct replacement for a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

Functionally yes — it outputs a 15.36 MHz CMOS clock from a 3.3 V supply, same as a quartz XO. The difference is the MEMS resonator inside, which is more shock-tolerant and does not require external load capacitors. Pin-compatible with many 4-SMD oscillators of the same footprint, but confirm the enable/standby logic polarity against your existing part before substituting.
