Product details

MEMS oscillator for harsh-environment timing

The DSC1121BM2-016.0000 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip Technology, delivering a 16 MHz CMOS clock with ±25 ppm frequency stability across the full -55°C to 125°C military temperature range.

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead package measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The 0.50 mm pitch on the outer rows fans out on a two-layer board without via-in-pad; a four-layer board adds a ground plane under the part for EMI containment on the CMOS edge rates.

The DSC1121 series is the current production family; no successor has been announced. The 6-SMD MEMS oscillator footprint is shared across the DSC1121 family, so a frequency change within the series keeps the same land pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Can the DSC1121BM2-016.0000 replace a standard quartz oscillator?

Yes — the DSC1121BM2-016.0000 is a drop-in replacement for a 16 MHz quartz XO with CMOS output, provided the board layout is a 6-SMD no-lead footprint. The MEMS resonator offers better shock resistance and wider temperature range than most quartz parts, but the output drive strength and rise time are similar. Verify the Enable/Disable polarity matches your existing circuit; the DSC1121 uses a logic-high enable.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative in the DSC1121 family?

Any DSC1121BM2-xxx.xxxx with the same 6-SMD package and 2.25 V–3.6 V supply is pin-compatible. The only difference is the output frequency. For a different stability grade, the DSC1121Axx-xxx.xxxx variant offers ±10 ppm; the DSC1121Bxx-xxx.xxxx offers ±25 ppm. All share the same land pattern and enable function.
