Product details

Quad LVPECL timing source with MEMS reliability

The MEMS resonator eliminates the aging and vibration sensitivity of quartz crystals — a real advantage in systems that see shock or wide temperature swings, such as outdoor small cells or industrial Ethernet switches.

Stability and temperature grade for outdoor deployment

Rated at ±25 ppm frequency stability over the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, this oscillator holds the clock edge tight enough for 10/100/1000BASE-T jitter budgets without an external TCXO — a common gotcha when designers assume a basic XO will pass the Ethernet mask at temperature extremes.

Supply flexibility and enable/disable control

The 2.25V to 3.6V supply range lets the same BOM position serve 2.5V and 3.3V rails — useful when a board has both voltage domains and you want one clock part number across both.

Package and layout consideration

Housed in a 20-VFQFN with exposed pad measuring 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm and 0.90 mm height, the package footprint is compact but the thermal pad underneath must be soldered to a ground plane with adequate thermal vias — skipping this step can cause frequency drift under load.

Frequently asked questions

What are the exact frequency outputs of the DSC400-2222Q0118KI2T?

All four outputs are identical: each can be 100 MHz or 125 MHz (–). The part number suffix '2222Q0118' encodes the output configuration — confirm the exact frequency plan against the DSC400 ordering guide, but the datasheet shows these as the two supported frequencies for this variant.

Is the DSC400-2222Q0118KI2T a MEMS oscillator?

Yes — the base resonator is MEMS, not quartz. This gives better resistance to vibration and shock, and eliminates the frequency aging curve typical of crystal oscillators over a 10-year product life.

What supply voltage does the DSC400-2222Q0118KI2T accept?

The operating supply range is 2.25V to 3.6V, covering both 2.5V and 3.3V rails. The LVPECL output swing scales with the supply, so the receiver's input common-mode range must be checked at the chosen rail voltage.
