Product details

156.25 MHz LVPECL MEMS oscillator for high-speed clocking

The DSC1122CI5-156.2500T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator delivering a 156.25 MHz LVPECL output — a common reference for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and high-speed serial links where the LVPECL swing provides the noise margin needed over long board traces. Supply voltage spans 2.25 V to 3.6 V, so the same BOM line serves both 2.5 V and 3.3 V clock domains without a level translator on the oscillator power pin.

The MEMS resonator construction eliminates the quartz crystal's cold-start and vibration sensitivity issues, making this oscillator a drop-in for designs that need a reliable 156.25 MHz reference in industrial or outdoor equipment.

6-SMD package and Enable/Disable function

Housed in a 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm 6-SMD no-lead package, the oscillator fits tight board layouts; the Enable/Disable pin lets the system power down the output to 22 mA max supply current during sleep modes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to DSC1122CI5-156.2500T?

Within the DSC1122 series, other frequency variants share the same 6-SMD package and pinout — the base product number DSC1122 covers the family. For a direct 156.25 MHz LVPECL replacement, confirm the frequency stability and supply voltage range match your design; the ±10 ppm and 2.25 V–3.6 V specs are specific to this order code.

Can DSC1122CI5-156.2500T work with a 3.3 V supply?

Yes. The LVPECL output swing scales with the supply, so the termination network should be designed for VCC = 3.3 V to maintain the correct DC bias at the receiver.
