Product details

125 MHz MEMS oscillator for tight timing budgets

The DSC1101CI5-125.0000: A MEMS resonator replaces the quartz crystal, which means no load-capacitance tuning and faster startup — the oscillator is ready within a few milliseconds of power-up, a practical advantage when the processor or FPGA needs a stable clock before the boot loader runs.

Supply voltage flexibility and standby power savings

The 2.25V to 3.6V supply range lets this oscillator run directly off a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an intermediate LDO — one BOM line covers both voltage domains in a mixed-rail design. Standby (Power Down) function disables the output and drops supply current to 95 µA max, useful for battery-powered equipment that wakes periodically to process data then returns to sleep.

Package footprint and board integration

The 6-SMD, No Lead package measures 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a compact footprint that fits under a shield can or alongside a dense BGA array. Surface-mount assembly with standard reflow profiles; no special handling beyond normal MSL precautions for a plastic-molded MEMS package.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Standby (Power Down) function do on this oscillator?

The Standby function disables the output and reduces supply current to 95 µA max, allowing the system to power down the clock tree while retaining the ability to re-enable it quickly.
