Product details

MEMS clock for 50 MHz HCSL lanes

The Microchip DSC1124CE1-050.0000 is a 50 MHz MEMS-based XO with HCSL output in the 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm 6-SMD no-lead package. HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic) delivers a differential swing that drives PCIe reference clocks, SerDes reference lanes, and FPGA transceiver reference inputs directly — no external termination resistors to ground are needed beyond the standard 50 Ω pull-downs to VSS at each receiver pin.

This means the clock stays within ±50 ppm of 50 MHz regardless of where the board rail sits or how the ambient temperature drifts inside a ventilated enclosure — no additional supply regulation or temperature compensation is required at the oscillator socket. The disable current is still present because the MEMS resonator and PLL remain powered — the output buffer is tri-stated, not the core. For a power-down state that draws less than 22 mA, the supply rail to the oscillator must be gated externally.

Frequently asked questions

What is the frequency stability of DSC1124CE1-050.0000?

This is the inclusive stability figure — it covers initial accuracy, temperature drift, and supply sensitivity combined.

Is DSC1124CE1-050.0000 RoHS compliant?

The part is from Microchip's DSC1124 series which is manufactured RoHS-compliant. The 6-SMD no-lead package is lead-free and the device meets the RoHS directive. No specific exemption codes are noted on the standard product marking.

Can DSC1124CE1-050.0000 replace a standard quartz oscillator?

The MEMS resonator eliminates quartz startup reliability issues and offers better shock and vibration tolerance. The HCSL output is not a standard LVCMOS/LVTTL level, so the receiving device must accept HCSL levels.

What is the output type of DSC1124CE1?

HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic). This is a differential output that swings approximately 700 mV peak-to-peak centered around 350-550 mV common mode. It is the standard reference clock format for PCIe and many SerDes interfaces. The output drives 50 Ω to VSS at each receiver pin with no additional external bias network.
