Product details

The DSC1123AE2-300.0000 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) delivering a 300 MHz LVDS output with ±25 ppm frequency stability across its -20°C to +70°C operating range. The LVDS signalling keeps jitter low for high-speed serial interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, and SerDes reference clocks, where a quartz oscillator's startup time or vibration sensitivity can cause link retraining. AEC-Q100 qualification extends the part's suitability to automotive domains — infotainment head units, camera modules, and ADAS sensor fusion boards that must hold clock integrity under engine vibration and thermal cycling. The MEMS resonator inherently withstands 50,000 g shock and 70 g vibration, a reliability margin quartz cannot match without additional packaging.

The supply voltage range spans 2.25 V to 3.63 V, covering 2.5 V and 3.3 V rails common in mixed-signal designs.

This is a design-in grade part — no last-time-buy window to manage, no forced migration to a successor. The 6-SMD, no-lead exposed-pad package is a standard 7.0 mm × 5.0 mm footprint shared across the DSC1123 family, simplifying second-source qualification if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Does the DSC1123AE2-300.0000 have an enable/disable function?

Yes, the part includes an enable/disable function. When disabled, the output is tri-stated and supply current drops from 32 mA max to 22 mA max.

Is the DSC1123AE2-300.0000 a direct replacement for a quartz oscillator?

The DSC1123AE2-300.0000 is a MEMS-based XO and is pin-compatible with many standard 7.0 mm × 5.0 mm quartz oscillators. However, the MEMS resonator offers faster startup, higher shock/vibration tolerance, and better long-term reliability than quartz. Confirm the output type (LVDS) and supply voltage range (2.25 V–3.63 V) match your existing quartz oscillator's specifications before substituting.

What is the difference between MEMS and quartz oscillators?

MEMS oscillators use a silicon micro-electromechanical resonator instead of a quartz crystal. The MEMS resonator in the DSC1123 series provides inherent immunity to shock and vibration, faster startup time, and lower sensitivity to supply noise compared to quartz. Frequency stability (±25 ppm,) is comparable to standard quartz XOs.
