Product details

Supply voltage and output compatibility

Operating from 2.25V to 3.6V, this oscillator covers 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without a separate regulator. The CMOS output directly drives MCU clock inputs, and the enable/disable pin allows the oscillator to be gated for power savings — drawing 22 mA max when disabled.

Housed in a 6-SMD no-lead package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a seated height of 0.90mm, the DSC1121CM1-016.0000 fits standard oscillator footprints. The surface-mount package requires no through-hole vias, simplifying layout on dense PCBs.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1121CM1-016.0000 AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use?

Yes, it carries AEC-Q100 ratings, meaning it has passed the automotive-grade reliability stress tests including temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up.

Can the DSC1121CM1-016.0000 replace a standard quartz crystal oscillator?

Yes — the MEMS resonator provides better shock and vibration immunity than quartz, and the CMOS output is a drop-in replacement for most quartz XO footprints. The 6-SMD no-lead package matches common 3.2mm x 2.5mm oscillator footprints. Confirm the enable/disable logic polarity matches your design.
