Product details

Four-output MEMS clock source — 100 MHz and 156.25 MHz

The DSC400-4444Q0023KE1 delivers two distinct frequencies across four HCSL outputs: Output 1 and Output 4 run at 100 MHz, while Output 2 and Output 3 run at 156.25 MHz — a common pairing for PCIe reference clocks and Ethernet MAC/PHY interfaces on the same die.

Supply range and enable/disable control

The wide 2.25 V to 3.6 V supply rail lets this oscillator sit on a 2.5 V or 3.3 V power domain without an extra LDO — useful when the board already carries both rails and you want to avoid a second regulator.

The 20-VFQFN with exposed pad (5.00 mm x 3.20 mm body, 0.90 mm height) requires a thermal pad on the PCB — the centre pad must be soldered to a ground plane for thermal relief, not left floating.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output logic of DSC400-4444Q0023KE1?

HCSL (High-Speed Current Steering Logic) — the same differential signalling used for PCIe reference clocks. The outputs are current-mode, so the termination is 50 Ω to ground on each leg with a DC-blocking cap if the receiver expects AC-coupled HCSL.

Can DSC400-4444Q0023KE1 replace a failed quartz oscillator on an existing board?

Only if the original was a MEMS-based DSC400 series with the same four-output frequency map and HCSL logic. A quartz oscillator with the same footprint but different output type (LVDS, LVPECL) or different frequency plan will not work — the pinout and drive strength differ. Confirm the original part number before swapping.

Is DSC400-4444Q0023KE1 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not list an explicit RoHS compliance statement. The part ships in a Tube package and the 20-VFQFN is lead-free compatible per Microchip's standard material declaration. Verify the latest RoHS certificate on the manufacturer's site for your specific date code.
