Product details

125 MHz LVDS clock source with MEMS reliability

The DSC1203DL2-125M0000 is a 125 MHz LVDS oscillator built on a MEMS resonator — no quartz crystal inside, so it handles the shock and vibration that would pull a quartz oscillator off frequency. LVDS output pairs directly with FPGA clock inputs, SERDES reference pins, and gigabit Ethernet PHYs without external level translation.

Standby power-down for battery duty cycling

The Standby (Power Down) function drops supply current to 5 µA max when the enable pin is pulled low — useful for battery-operated gear that only needs the 125 MHz clock during active transmit/receive windows. Active current is 32 mA typical at 125 MHz; the 2.5V to 3.3V supply range lets it run from a common 3.3V or 2.5V rail without an extra regulator.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace DSC1203DL2-125M0000 with a standard quartz oscillator?

A standard quartz oscillator at 125 MHz with LVDS output and ±25 ppm stability could be functionally equivalent, but the MEMS resonator in the DSC1203 gives better shock/vibration tolerance and faster startup. Pin compatibility depends on the quartz part's package and footprint — the DSC1203 uses a 6-VDFN (2.5mm x 2.0mm) package.

What does the Standby (Power Down) function do on the DSC1203DL2-125M0000?

When the enable pin is deasserted, the oscillator stops and draws only 5 µA max. This lets you gate the 125 MHz clock off between active periods in battery-powered designs without a separate load switch.
