Product details

The DSC1103AI5-120.0000T is a 120 MHz LVDS-output MEMS oscillator from Microchip's DSC1103 series. It delivers a clean differential clock for high-speed serial interfaces — think 1 GigE, SATA, or PCIe reference clocks — where single-ended CMOS would radiate or suffer common-mode noise.

Supply range and standby power-down

Supply voltage spans 2.25V to 3.63V, so it runs from a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an extra regulator. The wide tolerance also helps during power-up sequencing when the rail may ramp slowly. Active current draw is 32 mA max at 120 MHz, typical for an LVDS oscillator at this frequency; the differential output keeps the power-per-bit lower than a CMOS oscillator driving the same trace length.

Housed in a 7.0 mm × 5.0 mm 6-SMD no-lead exposed-pad package (0.90 mm seated height).

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact frequency and output type of the DSC1103AI5-120.0000T?

120 MHz, LVDS output. The LVDS differential pair provides a low-jitter clock for high-speed serial links and is less susceptible to common-mode noise than single-ended CMOS.

Does the DSC1103AI5-120.0000T have a direct pin-compatible alternative?

The DSC1103 series is a Microchip-specific MEMS oscillator family. Other 120 MHz LVDS oscillators in a 7.0×5.0 mm 6-SMD package (e.g., SiTime or IDT parts) may be footprint-compatible, but the pinout and control logic (standby polarity, output enable) should be verified against the datasheet before substitution.
