Product details

50 MHz MEMS XO with enable/disable

The LVCMOS output drives directly into a 1.8V logic rail without external level translation. Enable/disable function lets the output be gated off without cycling the supply—useful for power-sequencing or clock-gating in a low-power design.

Stability and temperature grade

For a 50 MHz clock, ±20 ppm corresponds to a 1 kHz total drift—tight enough for most serial data links and general-purpose timing, but not for precision RF or wireless baseband where ±10 ppm or tighter is typical. The industrial grade means the oscillator is qualified for outdoor telecom cabinets, motor drive control boards, and factory-floor equipment that sees seasonal temperature swings.

Package and supply rail

Housed in a 4-VLGA package measuring 2.50 mm × 2.00 mm with a seated height of 0.89 mm, the DSC1525JI3A-50M00000 suits space-constrained PCB layouts. The 1.8V supply is fixed—this part does not accept 3.3V or 2.5V rails. A 3.3V system would need a different order code from the DSC152X family or a level translator on the output. Maximum supply current is 7.5 mA, so the thermal budget is minimal even in a dense layout.

No pin-compatible second source or official successor is documented; the DSC152X series is the only family reference.

Frequently asked questions

Can DSC1525JI3A-50M00000 be used with a 3.3V supply?

No. The supply voltage is fixed at 1.8V. Applying 3.3V exceeds the rated maximum and may damage the internal MEMS oscillator or output driver. A 3.3V system requires a different order code from the DSC152X family that specifies a 3.3V supply.

What is the enable/disable function and logic level?

The part includes an Enable/Disable pin. When the pin is asserted (logic high, referenced to Vdd), the output is enabled. When de-asserted (logic low), the output enters a high-impedance state. The pin threshold follows the 1.8V supply rail; it is not 5V-tolerant.
