Product details

MEMS oscillator with wide supply and temperature range

The DSC1201BA3-40M00000T is an active-production XO (Standard) from Microchip's DSC12X1 series, built on a MEMS resonator rather than a quartz crystal — the CMOS output swings rail-to-rail at 40 MHz, and the supply range of 2.25 V to 3.63 V covers 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic rails without a separate regulator.

Active draw is 27 mA typical at 40 MHz, which is the current into the output buffer driving a CMOS load; the MEMS core itself draws far less.

Housed in a 6-VDFN measuring 5.00 mm × 3.20 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm — the 0.197" × 0.126" footprint matches industry-standard 5×3.2 mm oscillator pads, so it drops onto existing layouts without a board spin.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC1201BA3-40M00000T have a standby mode?

Yes, the standby (power-down) function disables the output and reduces supply current to 5 µA max. The oscillator stops; reasserting the enable pin restarts it.

Can I use DSC1201BA3 as a replacement for standard crystal oscillators?

Yes, the 5.00 mm × 3.20 mm 6-VDFN package is footprint-compatible with many industry-standard 5×3.2 mm oscillators. The MEMS resonator provides better shock and vibration tolerance than a quartz crystal, and the CMOS output is a direct drop-in for most logic inputs.
