Product details

MEMS oscillator for wide-temperature timing

The DSC1121CM1-005.5296 is a MEMS-based standard XO delivering a fixed 5.5296 MHz CMOS output — a clean clock for MCU cores, UART baud-rate generators, and low-speed serial interfaces that need a precise timebase without the shock sensitivity of a quartz crystal. The 2.25V to 3.6V supply range lets it run directly from a 2.5V or 3.3V rail without an intermediate regulator.

Frequency stability and enable/disable control

Absolute Pull Range is ±50 ppm, which sets the frequency accuracy over the full temperature and voltage range — tighter than commodity ±100 ppm oscillators, so serial protocols like RS-485 or CAN maintain bit timing margin across the -55°C to 125°C span.

Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a compact footprint that suits space-constrained PCBs in handheld or embedded modules.

The DSC1121 series remains a current design-in choice for new timing trees.

Frequently asked questions

What supply voltage does DSC1121CM1-005.5296 require?

It operates from 2.25V to 3.6V, covering both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails. No external LDO is needed if the rail sits within that window.

Does DSC1121CM1-005.5296 have an enable/disable function?

Yes — the Enable/Disable pin allows the output to be tri-stated without removing power. In disable mode the supply current drops to a maximum of 22 mA.

Where can I buy DSC1121CM1-005.5296?

Available through independent distribution channels.
