Product details

5.25 MHz MEMS clock source — fit and function

The DSC1121AE5-005.2500 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) that outputs a 5.25 MHz CMOS clock with ±10 ppm frequency stability — tighter than the ±25 ppm typical of quartz oscillators, which matters when the system clock feeds a PLL or a serial data link where jitter accumulates. The supply voltage accepts 2.25V to 3.6V, so the same BOM line works across 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without a separate regulator or level translator.

Package, temperature grade, and board layout

The commercial temperature grade limits this part to indoor, controlled-environment equipment — not rated for industrial outdoor, under-hood, or engine-bay deployment.

No last-time-buy window, no PCN risk for obsolescence.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1121AE5-005.2500 a MEMS or quartz oscillator?

It is a MEMS-based oscillator. The base resonator is MEMS, not quartz, which gives it better shock and vibration resistance and a faster start-up time compared to a quartz XO.

What is the frequency of the DSC1121AE5-005.2500?

The output frequency is 5.25 MHz, with a CMOS output and ±10 ppm stability.
