Product details

50 MHz MEMS oscillator with automotive qualification

AEC-Q100 — the under-hood clock source

The 6-SMD no-lead package (3.20 mm x 2.50 mm) with 0.90 mm seated height fits the footprint of standard 3.2 x 2.5 mm XOs — no board spin for a MEMS swap.

Max supply current is 35 mA during operation; disabling the output drops consumption to 22 mA max, which matters for battery-backed RTC or sleep-mode power budgets.

MEMS resonator — why it matters for the BOM

The MEMS base resonator eliminates quartz crystal start-up time and shock sensitivity — the oscillator is ready within microseconds of power-on and survives 50,000 g shock. No external load capacitors or feedback resistor: the MEMS oscillator integrates the resonator and the sustaining circuit in one package, saving two passives per clock line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative from other manufacturers?

The DSC1121 series is a MEMS oscillator — no direct quartz-based XO is pin-compatible because quartz requires external load caps. Within the MEMS oscillator class, the SiTime SiT8208 series offers a similar 3.2 x 2.5 mm footprint and 50 MHz CMOS output, but its AEC-Q100 qualification and supply range should be verified against the BOM's specific requirements.
