Product details

Frequency stability is ±50 ppm, which covers general-purpose clocking for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and Ethernet PHYs. If your application requires tighter than ±25 ppm (e.g., precision video or IEEE 1588), this part is not the right fit.

Supply current and standby power-down

6-SMD no-lead package and board layout

The 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm footprint (industry-standard 3225) with 0.90 mm seated height fits into tight layouts.

Frequently asked questions

Can DSC1101CI1-120.0000 replace a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes, it is a drop-in replacement in terms of footprint (3.2 mm x 2.5 mm 6-SMD) and output (CMOS). The MEMS resonator offers better shock/vibration tolerance and faster startup than quartz, but the ±50 ppm stability is typical for general-purpose use—not a precision upgrade.

What is the difference between DSC1101 and DSC1121 series?

The DSC1121 series typically offers lower jitter and tighter frequency stability options (e.g., ±25 ppm) compared to the DSC1101's ±50 ppm. For most MCU/FPGA clocking, the DSC1101 is sufficient; the DSC1121 is worth considering if the PHY or SerDes requires stricter timing margins.
