Product details

Four 125 MHz LVDS outputs from a MEMS resonator

Frequency stability is held to ±50 ppm across the full -20°C to 70°C commercial range, which keeps the clock edge jitter within the setup/hold budget of a 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY or a DDR3 memory controller without external re-timing.

Housed in a 20-VFQFN with exposed pad, the 5.00 mm x 3.20 mm footprint is a common clock-generator land pattern. Supply voltage spans 2.25 V to 3.6 V, so the same BOM line works across a 2.5 V FPGA bank and a 3.3 V ASIC clock input without a separate level translator. The 0.90 mm seated height clears the 1.0 mm keep-out zone under a mezzanine card — a detail that matters when the oscillator sits on the bottom side of a dense backplane board.

Product status is Active per Microchip's current portfolio. The DSC400 series is the MEMS-based replacement for the older quartz DSC1001/DSC2001 families. If your BOM currently carries a 125 MHz LVDS quartz oscillator in a 7.0 mm x 5.0 mm package, the DSC400-3333Q0078KE1T shrinks the footprint by 55 % and removes the external load capacitors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to DSC400-3333Q0078KE1T?

Within the DSC400 series, any variant sharing the same 20-VFQFN package and supply voltage range is footprint-compatible. The key difference is the output frequency configuration — confirm that the alternative's output frequencies match your clock-tree requirements before substituting.

Can DSC400-3333Q0078KE1T replace a standard quartz oscillator?

Yes — the MEMS resonator is a drop-in functional replacement for a quartz XO with the same output type and frequency. The MEMS part offers faster start-up (typically <5 ms vs 10 ms for quartz) and better shock/vibration immunity, which is relevant for equipment that ships with the oscillator soldered in place.
