Product details

16 MHz MEMS XO with full military temperature range

The DSC1101DM2-016.0000T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator from Microchip's DSC1101 series, delivering a 16 MHz CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability across the full -55°C to 125°C military temperature range. That temperature grade — -55°C to 125°C — is the key differentiator here. Most standard crystal oscillators top out at 85°C or 105°C; this part keeps running in avionics, downhole instrumentation, satellite payloads, or engine-bay electronics where the ambient hits 125°C and the board itself is the heat sink.

The supply range spans 2.25V to 3.6V, covering 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without an external regulator. Maximum active current is 35 mA at 16 MHz, typical for a MEMS oscillator driving a CMOS load.

6-VDFN package and board-fit note

Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — the 0.098" x 0.079" footprint saves board area compared to a standard 5x7 mm or 3.2x2.5 mm quartz oscillator. The surface-mount package reflows with standard lead-free profiles.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1101DM2-016.0000T a drop-in replacement for a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

Functionally yes — it outputs a 16 MHz CMOS clock with ±25 ppm stability, same as a quartz XO. But the MEMS resonator and 6-VDFN package mean the footprint and reflow profile differ from a typical 5x7 mm or 3.2x2.5 mm quartz can. Verify the PCB land pattern against the 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm package outline before substituting.

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

The PD pin puts the output into high-impedance and reduces supply current to 95 µA max. This is a hardware shutdown — the oscillator stops and the output tristates — not a disable of just the output buffer. Use it to save power in battery-operated or duty-cycled systems.
