Product details

LVPECL clock at 156.25 MHz — MEMS resonator, wide supply range

The DSC1122CL1-156.2500 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) oscillator delivering a 156.25 MHz LVPECL output — the exact frequency used as the reference clock for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (XAUI) and many FPGA SERDES blocks. Supply voltage spans 2.25 V to 3.6 V, so the same part works with 2.5 V and 3.3 V rails without a separate LDO for the oscillator. Frequency stability is ±50 ppm over the full -40 to +105 °C industrial temperature range, holding the clock edge jitter within the timing budget for a 10.3125 Gbaud serial link.

Package, footprint, and enable/disable function

Housed in a 6-SMD no-lead package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a compact footprint that fits dense PCB layouts without consuming extra board area.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output type of the DSC1122CL1-156.2500?

LVPECL — a differential, low-voltage positive emitter-coupled logic output. It is the standard for high-speed clock distribution in 10 GbE and Fibre Channel applications where common-mode noise rejection matters.

What supply voltage range does the DSC1122CL1-156.2500 accept?

2.25 V to 3.6 V, covering both 2.5 V and 3.3 V nominal rails. The wide range eliminates the need for a dedicated regulator on the oscillator supply.

Is the DSC1122CL1-156.2500 a direct replacement for a quartz oscillator?

Functionally yes — it provides the same 156.25 MHz clock with ±50 ppm stability. The MEMS resonator is less sensitive to vibration and has a faster start-up time than quartz, but the pinout and footprint (6-SMD no-lead) must match the PCB land pattern.
