Product details

Four-output MEMS oscillator for industrial clock trees

The DSC400-3331Q0098KI2 is a MEMS-based XO that delivers four independent clock outputs from a single 5.0×3.2 mm package — 12 MHz on output 1 and 50 MHz on outputs 2, 3, and 4 — eliminating the need for multiple oscillators or a separate fanout buffer on the board. Each output can be configured as LVCMOS or LVDS, giving the layout engineer flexibility to drive both single-ended logic and differential pairs from the same device. The enable/disable function lets firmware bring unused output domains into high-Z during sleep modes, cutting system power without a dedicated load switch.

±25 ppm stability across industrial temperature range

Frequency stability is rated at ±25 ppm over the full -40 to 85°C industrial temperature range — tight enough for a 12 MHz reference feeding an Ethernet PHY or a 50 MHz clock for a high-speed ADC without external trimming.

Wide supply range simplifies rail selection

Operating from 2.25 V to 3.6 V, this oscillator can run directly off a 2.5 V or 3.3 V rail without an intermediate LDO — one less part to qualify and one less dropout voltage to budget.

The 20-VFQFN exposed-pad package (5.0×3.2 mm, 0.90 mm height) is a standard footprint; the thermal pad should be soldered to a ground plane for heat sinking, especially if all four outputs are driving 50 MHz into capacitive loads.

Frequently asked questions

Does DSC400-3331Q0098KI2 require external capacitors or termination?

No external load capacitors are needed — the MEMS resonator is self-contained. For LVDS outputs, place a 100-ohm termination resistor across the differential pair close to the receiver. For LVCMOS outputs, the trace impedance should match the driver's output impedance (typically 50 ohms) to avoid reflections.

Is DSC400-3331Q0098KI2 compatible with a 2.5V supply?

Yes, the supply range is 2.25 V to 3.6 V, so a 2.5 V rail is within spec. The output swing will be rail-relative — LVCMOS levels scale with Vdd, and LVDS common-mode voltage shifts accordingly.
