Product details

The disabled current of 22 mA is not a true shutdown — the MEMS resonator and PLL stay active, so the part is not intended for battery-powered sleep modes. For a gated clock, the disable state saves roughly 13 mA compared to the enabled draw.

The 6-VDFN exposed pad package measures 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm x 0.90 mm — a standard 7x5 mm oscillator footprint that is pin-compatible with many quartz-based XOs in the same form factor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output type of the DSC1121AI2-016.0000T?

The output is CMOS, single-ended, which interfaces directly with most MCU clock inputs, FPGA global clock pins, and logic buffers without external termination.

What supply voltage range does the DSC1121AI2-016.0000T support?

It accepts 2.25 V to 3.6 V, covering both 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic rails. The wide range means a single BOM line can serve boards with different core voltages.

Is the DSC1121AI2-016.0000T a drop-in replacement for standard 16 MHz quartz oscillators?

The 7.00 mm x 5.00 mm 6-VDFN package matches the common 7x5 mm oscillator footprint used by many quartz-based XOs. Pin compatibility depends on the specific quartz part's pinout — confirm the enable/disable and supply pin assignments against your existing layout. The MEMS construction eliminates quartz startup delay and offers better shock and vibration tolerance.

What does the enable/disable function do on the DSC1121AI2?

The enable/disable pin tri-states the CMOS output while keeping the internal oscillator running. Maximum supply current drops from 35 mA to 22 mA — a partial power reduction, not a full shutdown. The output returns to valid levels within one clock cycle after re-enable.
