Why a MEMS resonator matters for this 50 MHz clock
Its LVDS output delivers a differential 50 MHz clock with the signal integrity needed for high-speed interfaces like Gigabit Ethernet PHYs, FPGAs, and SoC reference inputs — the differential swing keeps common-mode noise from coupling into the clock path.
Stability and temperature grade for commercial equipment
The 2.25V to 3.63V supply range lets it run from a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an extra regulator — one less BOM line for the power tree.
Standby power-down for battery-aware designs
Active production — no last-time-buy clock ticking
Listed as Active product status — Microchip has not issued a PCN or end-of-life notice for this DSC1103 series variant. New designs can commit to it without an obsolescence timer.
