Product details

270 MHz LVDS reference clock — MEMS vs quartz

The DSC1203BI2-270M0000T is a 270 MHz MEMS-based XO (Standard) with LVDS output, from Microchip's DSC1203 series. LVDS at 270 MHz suits high-speed SerDes, FPGA reference clocks, and 10G Ethernet PHY applications where low-jitter differential signalling is required.

Supply voltage and power-down fit

Supply voltage range is 2.5V to 3.3V — one part covers both 2.5V and 3.3V logic families without a separate regulator. The standby (power-down) function draws only 5 µA max when disabled, critical for battery-backed systems or always-on gear that needs to shut the oscillator during sleep.

Temperature grade and stability

6-VDFN package, 5.00mm x 3.20mm body, 0.90mm seated height.

Frequently asked questions

Can DSC1203BI2-270M0000T replace a quartz-based 270 MHz oscillator?

Yes, the MEMS-based DSC1203BI2-270M0000T is a drop-in replacement for quartz oscillators in the same 5.0 x 3.2 mm footprint. It offers better shock/vibration immunity and no quartz aging drift, but check the output type (LVDS) and supply voltage range match your design.
