Product details

MEMS oscillator replaces quartz with better ruggedness

Unlike quartz crystal oscillators, the MEMS resonator is inherently more resistant to shock and vibration — a meaningful advantage for systems deployed in motor drives, outdoor telecom cabinets, or engine-bay electronics where mechanical stress can pull a quartz crystal off frequency.

Supply voltage and standby power-down

The oscillator operates from a 2.25V to 3.6V supply rail, covering both 3.3V and 2.5V logic domains without an external LDO — a single rail serves the entire clock tree. When the system enters a low-power sleep mode, the standby (power-down) function disables the output and drops the supply current to 95µA max, preserving battery life in duty-cycled sensor nodes or portable instruments.

It is suitable for both new designs and ongoing production. Sourced through independent distribution; quoted to order against the BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1101CI1-016.0000 a direct replacement for a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes. The DSC1101CI1-016.0000 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) that outputs a 16 MHz CMOS clock signal — it is pin-compatible with many standard 6-SMD no-lead quartz oscillators and requires no external load capacitors. The MEMS resonator offers better shock and vibration tolerance than quartz, making it a drop-in upgrade for rugged environments.
