Product details

156.25 MHz LVDS clock source with AEC-Q100

The DSC1123BE5-156.2500 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) delivering a 156.25 MHz LVDS output with ±10 ppm frequency stability over -20°C to +70°C. LVDS is the right choice for point-to-point high-speed links where common-mode noise rejection matters — think serializer/deserializer reference clocks, FPGA transceiver banks, or automotive Ethernet PHYs. It fits under-hood or cabin-domain designs where a quartz part might drift or fail under vibration.

Operates from 2.25 V to 3.63 V, covering the common 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic rails without an extra regulator.

Listed as Active by Microchip.

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead package measuring 5.00 mm × 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. The no-lead land pattern is a direct drop-in for standard 5.0×3.2 mm oscillator footprints — no board spin required if you are replacing a quartz XO in the same form factor.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1123BE5-156.2500 AEC-Q100 qualified?

Yes — it carries AEC-Q100 rating. That covers the -20°C to +70°C operating range with the reliability stresses required for automotive applications.

What is the output type and supply voltage range?

Output is LVDS. Supply voltage range is 2.25 V to 3.63 V, covering both 2.5 V and 3.3 V rails.

Does the DSC1123BE5-156.2500 have an enable/disable function?

Yes — the Enable/Disable function allows the output to be tri-stated. When disabled, maximum supply current drops to 22 mA.

How does this MEMS oscillator compare to a standard quartz XO?

The MEMS resonator offers better shock and vibration immunity than quartz — a practical advantage in automotive and industrial environments where quartz crystals can fracture or shift frequency. The ±10 ppm stability is comparable to a good quartz XO, but the MEMS part typically starts up faster and has no crystal aging drift over the first year.
