Product details

It belongs to Microchip's DSC1101 series and is aimed at applications needing a precise clock source in a small footprint — think Ethernet PHYs, FPGAs, or high-speed serial interfaces where a quartz crystal would require additional load caps and a longer startup.

Supply voltage range and operating temperature

The part operates from 2.25 V to 3.6 V, covering common 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic rails without an external regulator. The 6-VDFN exposed pad package (7.00 mm x 5.00 mm, 0.90 mm seated height) requires a thermal pad on the PCB for heat dissipation — a standard via pattern under the pad is sufficient for most layouts.

Frequently asked questions

How can I order the DSC1101AE3-090.3168 or check availability?

The DSC1101AE3-090.3168 is an Active part and can be sourced through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ with your target quantity; we confirm current pricing and lead time at quote time. No stock-holding claim — availability is confirmed per order.

What is the exact frequency of the DSC1101AE3-090.3168?

The exact output frequency is 90.3168 MHz, with an absolute pull range (APR) of ±20 ppm. That stability is typical for MEMS oscillators and keeps the clock within tight tolerance for 1000BASE-T or similar serial links.

Does the DSC1101AE3-090.3168 have a standby or power-down function?

Yes, the function is Standby (Power Down). When the enable pin is pulled low, the output is disabled and the supply current drops to 95 µA max, allowing the oscillator to be gated off in low-power sleep modes without removing the main supply.
