Product details

MEMS oscillator replaces quartz — 16 MHz CMOS output

It operates from a 2.25V to 3.6V supply, covering both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without an extra regulator — simplifies the power tree on mixed-voltage boards. The absolute pull range (APR) is ±50 ppm, which holds frequency within tight enough bounds for most serial communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C) but not for precision Ethernet or wireless reference clocks.

Standby mode cuts supply to 95 µA

During normal operation the device draws 35 mA max at 16 MHz — the active current is typical for a CMOS-output oscillator at this frequency.

6-VDFN exposed pad — layout and thermal note

Surface-mount assembly follows standard reflow profiles for VDFN packages; the pad pattern should match the recommended land pattern in the datasheet to avoid solder bridging on the narrow leads.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC1101AE1-016.0000T have a standby mode?

The enable pin is active-low; pulling it low puts the oscillator into standby, pulling it high or leaving it floating enables normal operation.
