Product details

48 MHz MEMS clock with ±10 ppm stability

That stability holds the clock edge jitter tight enough for a 48 MHz MCU or FPGA reference without needing a temperature-compensated crystal. Supply current maxes at 95 µA, which keeps the thermal budget low in a sealed enclosure and stretches battery life in a remote sensor node that clocks only on wake cycles.

Supply rail flexibility and standby control

The Standby (Power Down) function pulls the output to high-impedance and drops the supply current to near zero, so the oscillator can be gated by a GPIO without a separate load switch.

Package and board layout fit

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead Exposed Pad package measuring 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The exposed pad on the underside needs a thermal via pattern to the ground plane for heat sinking—without it the pad floats and the junction temperature rises faster than the datasheet curve predicts.

The base product number DSC1101 covers multiple frequency and stability variants, but this exact order code is the one for 48 MHz, ±10 ppm, -40°C to 85°C. Quoted to order against the BOM quantity; availability confirmed at RFQ.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC1101AI5-048.0000 support 3.3 V operation?

The oscillator draws its rated 95 µA max at 3.3 V.

What is the standby (power down) function of DSC1101AI5-048.0000?

The Standby (Power Down) function disables the output and reduces supply current to a negligible level, allowing the oscillator to be gated by a microcontroller GPIO without an external load switch.
