Product details

MEMS quad-output oscillator for clock trees

The DSC400-0444Q0009KE1 is a MEMS-based XO (Standard) that delivers four 100 MHz HCSL outputs from a single 5.00mm x 3.20mm package — a direct replacement for multiple quartz oscillators on a clock tree, saving board area and reducing BOM count. The HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic) output is common in PCIe and Ethernet reference clock applications; it drives 50-ohm terminated lines without external pull-up resistors. A 2.25V to 3.6V supply range means the oscillator runs on 2.5V or 3.3V rails without a separate regulator — one less part to source and place.

Frequently asked questions

Is the DSC400-0444Q0009KE1 compatible with a 2.5V supply?

Yes. The supply voltage range is 2.25V to 3.6V, so 2.5V is well within the operating window — no additional regulator is needed.

Can the DSC400-0444Q0009KE1 replace a quartz crystal oscillator?

It replaces a quartz-based XO (oscillator module), not a bare quartz crystal. The MEMS resonator inside is more shock- and vibration-tolerant than quartz and starts up faster, but the board must already have the power and ground connections for an active oscillator — a crystal requires an external inverter circuit.

What is the output waveform of the DSC400-0444Q0009KE1?

The output is HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic), a differential current-mode logic family. It drives 50-ohm terminated lines directly and does not need external pull-up resistors — the output current is steered into the termination.

Does the DSC400-0444Q0009KE1 have an enable/disable function?

Yes. The Enable/Disable pin lets you put the outputs into a high-impedance state, which is useful for power sequencing, test modes, or low-power standby.
