Product details

45.1854 MHz MEMS oscillator for commercial timing

The DSC1101CE5-045.1854T: The MEMS resonator provides faster startup and better shock/vibration tolerance than a quartz crystal oscillator. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 70°C, which suits office equipment, appliances, and indoor commercial electronics — not outdoor or under-hood environments.

Standby function and disable current

A Standby (Power Down) function pulls the output to high-impedance and drops supply current to 95 µA max — useful for battery-backed real-time clocks or power-gated subsystems where the oscillator only runs when the system is awake. Active supply current is 35 mA max — budget this into the rail's total draw.

Package and footprint for PCB layout

Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm max — this is a low-profile, small-footprint oscillator that fits tight board stacks and leaves room for surrounding passives. Surface-mount mounting with the 6-VDFN land pattern — the exposed pad on the underside should be soldered to a ground plane for thermal and mechanical stability, though the datasheet's recommended footprint is the final authority for stencil aperture.

Supplied in Tape & Reel — procurement quantities are reel increments; cut-tape or partial-reel availability is confirmed at RFQ.

Frequently asked questions

How does DSC1101CE5-045.1854T compare to a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

The DSC1101 uses a MEMS resonator rather than a quartz crystal. MEMS oscillators typically offer faster startup, better resistance to shock and vibration, and tighter frequency stability over temperature without the aging drift of quartz. The electrical interface (CMOS output, 2.25–3.6 V supply) is the same — so in most designs it is a drop-in replacement for a quartz XO of the same frequency and package.

What is the footprint of DSC1101CE5-045.1854T?

The 6-VDFN package measures 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm max. The land pattern is a standard 6-pad DFN with an exposed ground pad — the recommended footprint is in the datasheet, but the outer dimensions match common 3.2 x 2.5 mm oscillator footprints used by other manufacturers.

Can I get DSC1101CE5-045.1854T in a cut tape or full reel?

The standard packaging is Tape & Reel. Full reels are the default procurement increment. Cut tape or partial-reel quantities may be available — this is confirmed at RFQ time, not assumed.
