Product details

125 MHz MEMS clock source with AEC-Q100 qualification

The DSC1121AE2-125.0000T is a 125 MHz MEMS-based oscillator from Microchip's DSC1121 series, delivering a CMOS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability across its -20°C to 70°C operating range. Rated AEC-Q100, this part is qualified for automotive applications where reliability screening and temperature cycling are required — suitable for cabin or chassis-domain ECUs that demand a hardened clock source. The MEMS resonator replaces a quartz crystal, offering improved shock and vibration tolerance and faster startup compared to a traditional crystal oscillator — a practical advantage in automotive and industrial environments.

Supply voltage and output drive

Operates from a 2.25V to 3.6V supply, covering 2.5V and 3.3V rails without an external regulator — the wide input range simplifies power tree design. CMOS output drives standard logic families directly; maximum supply current is 35 mA when enabled and 22 mA when disabled via the Enable/Disable function.

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead Exposed Pad package measuring 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a standard footprint for 7x5 mm oscillators, compatible with reflow soldering profiles. Surface-mount package supplied on Tape & Reel, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly.

The part is available for new designs and volume production. Sourced through independent distribution; quoted to order against the BOM quantity.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1121AE2-125.0000T AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes, the DSC1121AE2-125.0000T carries AEC-Q100 qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications that require reliability stress testing and temperature cycling per the standard.

Can DSC1121AE2-125.0000T replace a standard 125 MHz crystal oscillator?

Yes, it is a drop-in replacement for a 125 MHz crystal oscillator in CMOS logic systems. The MEMS resonator provides faster startup and better shock/vibration tolerance than a quartz crystal, but the output is functionally identical — CMOS levels at 125 MHz with ±25 ppm stability.

Is DSC1121AE2-125.0000T compatible with a 2.5V supply?

Yes, the supply voltage range is 2.25V to 3.6V, so a 2.5V rail is within spec. No external regulator is needed when running from a 2.5V supply.
