Product details

MEMS oscillator for hot environments — 156.25 MHz at 125°C

The DSC1502JA3A-156M2500: The supply voltage accepts 2.5V to 3.3V without any external regulator change, so the same BOM line works across 2.5V and 3.3V clock domains.

Active lifecycle — no last-time-buy watch needed

Standby function and 4-VLGA footprint

Packaged in a 4-VLGA (2.50 mm x 2.00 mm, 0.89 mm seated height), the land pattern requires a 0.50 mm pitch layout — standard for small-footprint oscillators; no via-in-pad needed unless the thermal pad is connected to a ground plane.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC1502JA3A-156M2500 have a standby pin?

Yes, the function is Standby (Power Down). When asserted, the output goes high-impedance and the supply current drops to 1.8 µA typical.

Is there a pin-compatible alternative if DSC1502JA3A-156M2500 is out of stock?

The DSC150X series shares the same 4-VLGA package and pinout. A sibling with the same frequency and supply range but different stability or temperature grade may be a functional drop-in — confirm the standby pin mapping on the specific order code before committing.
