Product details

MEMS clock with LVPECL drive

The DSC1122CI5-156.2578T is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC1122 series, delivering a fixed 156.2578 MHz LVPECL output. The MEMS resonator eliminates the quartz-crystal startup issues and vibration sensitivity you see on a board that's been through thermal cycling — the scorch mark on a failed crystal oscillator tells you the resonator cracked; this part doesn't have one to crack. It operates from a single 2.25V to 3.6V supply, covering both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without an extra regulator.

Stability and temperature range

The 58 mA max supply current is the full-drive figure; with the output disabled it drops to 22 mA.

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — it fits the same land pattern as standard 3.2 x 2.5 mm XO footprints. Surface-mount assembly with no through-hole vias needed under the body.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lifecycle status of DSC1122CI5-156.2578T?

It is Active per Microchip's product status — no EOL or NRND flag. Suitable for new designs and production orders. Availability is confirmed at RFQ.

Can DSC1122CI5-156.2578T replace a crystal oscillator in my design?

Yes, if your design expects a standard XO with LVPECL output at 156.2578 MHz. The MEMS resonator is a drop-in replacement for a quartz XO in the same 6-SMD footprint, with better shock and vibration tolerance. The supply voltage must be within 2.25V to 3.6V.

Is DSC1122CI5-156.2578T compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes. The supply voltage range of 2.25V to 3.6V includes 3.3V, so it runs directly off a 3.3V rail. The LVPECL output levels are compatible with standard LVPECL receivers at that supply.
