Product details

Dual 100 MHz MEMS XO for high-speed serial clocks

The DSC2042FI1-F0014 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) delivering two independent 100 MHz outputs from a single 14-VFQFN package measuring 3.20 mm × 2.50 mm. Both outputs can be configured as HCSL or LVPECL, making it a direct clock source for PCIe, SATA, or 10GbE reference clocks without external level translation. For a 100 MHz carrier, that translates to a maximum absolute frequency error of 5 kHz — well within the ±100 ppm holdover window most Ethernet PHYs require.

Supply current and power budget fit

Typical supply current is 76 mA with both outputs active at 100 MHz.

Active production and ordering path

Microchip lists the DSC2042FI1-F0014 as Active.

Frequently asked questions

What output types does the DSC2042FI1-F0014 support?

The DSC2042FI1-F0014 supports both HCSL and LVPECL output standards. HCSL is the typical interface for PCIe reference clocks; LVPECL suits high-speed SerDes or FPGA clock inputs that expect a differential CML-like swing.

Can the DSC2042FI1-F0014 replace an equivalent quartz-based oscillator?

The DSC2042FI1-F0014 is a MEMS resonator XO, not a quartz crystal oscillator. It is pin- and function-compatible with many standard 14-VFQFN dual-output oscillators, but the MEMS die has different phase-noise and aging characteristics than a quartz counterpart. Review the Microchip DSC2042 phase-noise plot against your system's jitter budget before substituting.
