Product details

MEMS oscillator, 2.3 MHz–170 MHz, LVCMOS output

Output is LVCMOS, the most common single-ended logic level for clock distribution to FPGAs, MCUs, and ASICs — no level translation needed if the downstream device runs on 1.8V to 3.3V rails. Frequency range spans 2.3 MHz to 170 MHz, so a single part number can cover multiple clock speeds in a design — useful when the BOM calls for one oscillator line for the main processor and another for the USB or Ethernet PHY.

4-VLGA package, Standby function, 7.5 mA max supply

Housed in a 4-VLGA package measuring 2.50 mm x 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.89 mm — a compact footprint that fits space-constrained designs like IoT modules or portable instruments. Maximum supply current is 7.5 mA across the full voltage range of 1.8V to 3.3V — low enough to run from a small LDO without thermal concerns.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC1500JA3A-PROG programmable?

The part number includes a -PROG suffix, indicating it is a factory-programmable oscillator — the output frequency is set at the factory per the order code. It is not field-programmable.
