Product details

MEMS oscillator for industrial timing

The DSC1121CL5-033.3333T is a 33.3333 MHz MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC1121 series. It replaces quartz crystal oscillators in applications where vibration resistance, faster start-up, and wider temperature range matter — the MEMS resonator is inherently more rugged than a quartz blank. Output is CMOS, compatible with most digital logic families (3.3V and 2.5V). The enable/disable function lets the system gate the clock without a separate buffer — useful for power-saving sleep modes.

Operating from 2.25V to 3.6V, this oscillator covers both 2.5V and 3.3V rails without a level translator. Frequency stability is ±10 ppm over the full temperature and voltage range (Absolute Pull Range). That is tight enough for most UART, I2C, and SPI links without needing a TCXO.

Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a seated height of 0.90mm. The small footprint saves board space compared to a quartz can; the surface-mount package reflows with standard lead-free profiles. Supplied on Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place assembly.

Suitable for new designs and production builds.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1121CL5-033.3333T a drop-in replacement for a quartz oscillator?

Functionally yes — same 33.3333 MHz frequency, CMOS output, and enable/disable pin. The 6-VDFN package footprint differs from a standard 4-pad quartz can; verify the PCB land pattern before substituting. The MEMS resonator also eliminates crystal aging drift and improves shock tolerance.

Does DSC1121CL5-033.3333T have an enable/disable function?

Yes. The enable/disable pin lets the system gate the clock output — the supply current drops to 22 mA max when disabled, compared to 35 mA max when active.
