164.4257 MHz LVPECL clock – MEMS reliability
The DSC1222CI3-164M4257: Unlike quartz-based oscillators, the MEMS resonator offers superior shock and vibration tolerance — relevant for base stations, industrial controllers, and networking equipment where board-level mechanical stress can pull a quartz crystal off frequency.
Supply range and disable function
The supply voltage accepts 2.25V to 3.63V, covering both 2.5V and 3.3V logic rails without a separate regulator.
Package and PCB footprint
Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 3.20mm x 2.50mm with a seated height of 0.90mm max. The 6-pin VDFN footprint is common among MEMS oscillators — the same land pattern serves most Microchip DSC1xxx/DSC2xxx parts, so a single PCB layout can support multiple frequencies.
