Product details

400 MHz LVDS MEMS clock source for SERDES and FPGA reference designs

The DSC1103NI1-400.0000 is a 400 MHz XO (Standard) with LVDS output, built around a MEMS resonator rather than a quartz crystal — the MEMS die is sealed at wafer level, so the part holds ±50 ppm frequency stability across -40°C to 85°C without the ageing drift of a quartz blank. At 400 MHz LVDS, this oscillator serves as the reference clock for 10GbE PHYs, FPGA transceivers, and SERDES devices that need a low-jitter differential input — the LVDS output swings 350 mV typical into a 100-Ω termination, which most high-speed SERDES blocks accept directly.

The 2.25V to 3.63V supply range means the oscillator can run from a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an extra LDO — useful when the FPGA bank voltage is 2.5V and the rest of the board is 3.3V, because the same part number covers both builds.

6-SMD no-lead package and board integration

Housed in a 7.00 mm × 5.00 mm 6-SMD no-lead package with a seated height of 0.90 mm — the footprint matches industry-standard 7×5 mm oscillator pads, so it drops onto existing layouts without a board spin.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1103NI1-400.0000 compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes — the supply voltage range is 2.25V to 3.63V, so a 3.3V rail is within spec. The LVDS output is a differential pair that swings 350 mV into 100 Ω; it does not swing rail-to-rail, so it is not a 3.3V CMOS signal but is fully compatible with LVDS receivers on FPGAs and PHYs.

What does the standby function do on the DSC1103NI1-400.0000?

When the standby pin is asserted, the oscillator stops and the output goes into high-impedance, drawing 95 µA max from the supply. This lets you gate the clock for power saving or share a single LVDS trace among multiple oscillators by enabling only one at a time.

Can the DSC1103NI1-400.0000 replace a standard 400 MHz LVDS crystal oscillator?

Yes, if the existing oscillator is a 7×5 mm 6-SMD no-lead LVDS part running from 2.25V to 3.63V. The MEMS resonator gives tighter frequency stability (±50 ppm) over temperature than many quartz-based XOs, and the standby function adds a power-down feature that quartz parts often lack. Pin compatibility depends on the specific pinout — confirm the enable and supply pin assignments against the existing footprint.
