Product details

12 MHz CMOS output from MEMS resonator

This is a standard XO (oscillator) built on a MEMS base resonator, not a quartz crystal. It outputs a 12 MHz CMOS-level clock — the 3.3V rail drives the output swing directly, so it connects to most digital logic inputs without level translation. The CMOS output is rail-to-rail, which gives clean edges into typical 10–15 pF load capacitances on a PCB trace.

±25 ppm stability and commercial temperature range

For a 12 MHz clock, this translates to a maximum frequency deviation of ±300 Hz — tight enough for UART baud-rate generation at 115200 bps without cumulative framing errors.

Standby function and low-power disable

Normal operation draws 10 mA max from the 3.3V rail. This makes it usable in battery-powered designs where the clock can be gated off during sleep — the MEMS oscillator starts up faster than a quartz crystal, typically under 5 ms, so the system can wake and clock within a single microcontroller boot sequence.

4-SMD no-lead package — board layout note

Housed in a 4-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The four pads are on the bottom — no leads to inspect after reflow. The small footprint suits space-constrained designs, but the lack of visible solder joints means X-ray inspection is the only way to confirm wetting. Standard reflow profile for lead-free assembly applies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the replacement for DSC1033DC2-012.0000?

Microchip has not published an official direct replacement for this exact order code. The DSC1033 series is discontinued. For a functionally similar MEMS oscillator at 12 MHz with CMOS output and 3.3V supply, consider the current DSC1001 or DSC1121 series from Microchip — but verify pin compatibility and package dimensions before substituting, as the DSC1033 used a 4-SMD no-lead package that may differ from newer series.

Does DSC1033DC2-012.0000 have a CMOS output?

Yes, the output type is CMOS. It swings rail-to-rail on a 3.3V supply, so it interfaces directly with standard digital logic inputs without level shifting.
