Product details

156.25 MHz MEMS oscillator — active, no LTB pressure

The DSC1101AL2-156.2500T is a Microchip MEMS-based XO delivering a 156.25 MHz CMOS clock from a 2.25 V to 3.63 V rail.

Standby power-down for battery-sleep budgets

The standby (power-down) function drops supply current to 95 µA max — low enough that a sensor node sleeping on a coin cell can leave the oscillator powered without draining the battery during the off cycle.

Industrial temp range and MEMS ruggedness

Rated -40°C to 105°C, this oscillator fits outdoor telecom cabinets, motor-drive enclosures, and engine-bay electronics without needing a climate-controlled compartment. The MEMS resonator handles shock and vibration better than a quartz crystal — relevant if the board sees a drop test or continuous machine vibration.

Housed in a 6-VDFN with exposed pad, 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm footprint, 0.90 mm seated height.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1101AL2-156.2500T a direct drop-in replacement for a quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes, functionally it replaces a standard 156.25 MHz quartz XO with CMOS output. The MEMS die is more shock-tolerant and does not exhibit crystal aging drift. Pin-compatible with many 7.0 mm x 5.0 mm 6-pin oscillators — confirm the supply voltage range (2.25 V to 3.63 V) and the standby pin logic before swapping.
