Product details

MEMS oscillator for noise-sensitive clock trees

The DSC1123DI2-050.0000: LVDS output pairs directly with FPGA clock inputs, high-speed ADCs, and SERDES reference pins — the differential signalling rejects common-mode noise that a single-ended CMOS oscillator would couple into the supply plane. Supply voltage spans 2.25 V to 3.63 V, so it runs off a 3.3 V or 2.5 V rail without a separate regulator, and draws 32 mA max — light enough that a shared rail with other digital loads won't sag under the oscillator's transient.

Housed in a 6-SMD, No Lead package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — a compact footprint that fits tight channel spacing on a multi-gigabit backplane or a sensor interface card. Surface-mount, no-lead package: the pads are on the bottom, so the hot-air nozzle needs to heat the whole body evenly. A preheat plate at 150°C helps avoid thermal shock to the MEMS die.

No direct replacement or successor has been announced; the DSC1123 series continues as the primary offering for this frequency and output type.

Frequently asked questions

How does the DSC1123DI2-050.0000 compare to a traditional quartz oscillator?

The MEMS resonator is inherently more resistant to vibration and shock than a quartz crystal — no quartz blank to crack or drift under mechanical stress. The ±25 ppm stability is comparable to a standard quartz XO, but the MEMS part typically starts up faster (sub-millisecond) and has a wider operating temperature range without the frequency dip quartz exhibits near its turnover point.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative in the DSC1123 family?

Any other DSC1123 part with the same 6-SMD, No Lead package and LVDS output is footprint-compatible — only the frequency and stability grade differ. For a direct drop-in at a different frequency, order the desired frequency with the same 'DI2' suffix (which encodes the package and stability). No official second-source exists outside the DSC1123 series.
