Product details

MEMS timing for automotive duty

Supply and stability margins

Operating from 2.5 V to 3.3 V with ±50 ppm frequency stability, this oscillator maintains timing accuracy across the full voltage and temperature range — eliminating the need for a separate LDO to supply a cleaner rail. The 27 mA typical supply current is consistent with a standard CMOS output buffer driving a moderate capacitive load.

Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm, the DSC1221DI1-21M11840T fits into space-constrained designs such as automotive camera modules or compact telematics control units.

Frequently asked questions

Is DSC1221DI1-21M11840T AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications?

This qualification includes the reliability stress and PPAP documentation required for production vehicle programs.

Can DSC1221DI1-21M11840T replace a quartz oscillator in an existing design?

The MEMS resonator provides better shock and vibration tolerance than quartz, making it a drop-in replacement for a 21.1184 MHz CMOS XO in the same 6-VDFN package and supply range. Confirm that the enable/disable logic polarity and output drive strength match the original quartz part's datasheet; the ±50 ppm stability is generally tighter than basic ±100 ppm quartz oscillators, which may improve timing margin in serial interfaces like CAN-FD or 100BASE-T1.
