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.
