Why a MEMS oscillator instead of quartz
LVDS output and supply flexibility
The LVDS output delivers a differential signal with typical 350 mV swing into 100 Ω, keeping jitter low for the 27 MHz reference needed by video encoders, Ethernet PHYs, or FPGA clock inputs.
Microchip lists the DSC1123CL2-027.0000 as Active — it is in production and open for new designs. The 6-SMD no-lead package (3.20 mm × 2.50 mm footprint) is a standard MEMS oscillator land pattern shared across the DSC1123 family.
