Product details

MEMS oscillator for PCIe clocking

It delivers two 100 MHz HCSL outputs from a single device, which directly feeds the reference clock inputs of a PCIe switch or FPGA transceiver bank. HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic) is the standard output type for PCIe Gen1 through Gen4 reference clocks — no external level translation needed if the destination is a PCIe PHY or Intel PCH.

Supply and temperature fit

Operating supply spans 2.25V to 3.6V, covering both 2.5V and 3.3V rails without a dedicated LDO. Frequency stability is ±50 ppm, which keeps the PCIe reference within the ±300 ppm total tolerance budget for Gen3 even after aging and temperature drift.

Housed in a 20-VFQFN with exposed pad (5.00mm x 3.20mm body, 0.90mm height).

Frequently asked questions

Can DSC400-0404Q0058KE1 replace a standard 100 MHz HCSL quartz oscillator?

Yes — the MEMS-based DSC400 is pin-compatible with many 20-VFQFN quartz oscillators and offers the same HCSL output. The ±50 ppm stability matches typical quartz specs. The key difference is supply range: 2.25V–3.6V covers more rails than a fixed 3.3V quartz oscillator. No board spin required if the footprint matches the 5.00mm x 3.20mm VFQFN.

What is the output type of DSC400-0404Q0058KE1?

HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic), the standard for PCIe reference clocks.
