Product details

150 MHz MEMS clock with AEC-Q100 grade

The AEC-Q100 qualification means this part has passed automotive-grade reliability stress — temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up — making it suitable for under-hood or chassis-domain clocking where a quartz crystal might fail under shock or wide temperature swings.

Supply range and power gating

The 2.25V to 3.6V supply range lets this oscillator run directly from a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an extra regulator. The enable/disable pin cuts supply current from 35 mA max to 22 mA max when the output is tri-stated — useful for power-cycled subsystems in telematics or ADAS cameras that sleep between ignition cycles.

MEMS vs quartz — the reliability edge

The MEMS base resonator inherently withstands higher shock and vibration than a quartz crystal — no mechanical fracture risk under 50,000 g shock, no frequency jump from board flex. The ±50 ppm stability covers most precision clocking needs; if your design requires tighter ±25 ppm, the DSC1121 family offers that variant, but the ±50 ppm grade is the standard option for Ethernet, CAN, and general-purpose microcontroller clocks.

Package and PCB footprint

The 5.00mm x 3.20mm 6-SMD no-lead package matches the common 5.0 x 3.2 mm oscillator land pattern used across the industry. The 0.90 mm seated height fits tight mezzanine stacks. Surface-mount reflow profile follows standard JEDEC J-STD-020 for MSL — no special handling beyond normal moisture-sensitive assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1121BI1-150.0000 AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use?

Yes, the part is rated AEC-Q100, meaning it has passed automotive-grade stress tests including temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up.

What is the footprint of DSC1121BI1-150.0000?

The package is 6-SMD no-lead measuring 5.00mm x 3.20mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The land pattern matches industry-standard 5.0 x 3.2 mm oscillator footprints.

Can DSC1121BI1-150.0000 replace a standard quartz oscillator of the same frequency?

Yes, the MEMS-based DSC1121BI1-150.0000 is a drop-in replacement for a 150 MHz quartz oscillator in the same 5.0 x 3.2 mm 6-pin package, provided the supply voltage (2.25V–3.6V) and output type (CMOS) match. The MEMS resonator offers better shock and vibration immunity than quartz, which is an advantage in automotive or industrial environments.

Does DSC1121BI1-150.0000 have a standby mode?

It has an Enable/Disable function. When disabled, the output is tri-stated and supply current drops from 35 mA max to 22 mA max. This is a power-gating feature, not a full standby mode with ultra-low quiescent current.
