HCSL output for PCIe and high-speed clocks
The DSC8104BI5: HCSL is the differential signaling standard for PCIe reference clocks, requiring a precise 0.7 V swing into a 50-ohm termination to ground — this part drives that interface directly without external level translation, saving two resistors per lane versus a standard LVDS buffer.
AEC-Q100 qualification and MEMS reliability
Listed with AEC-Q100 stress qualification, the part is screened for automotive-grade temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up — the same test flow used for under-hood engine control and chassis modules.
Supply voltage and power-down flexibility
The 42 mA maximum supply current (at full frequency and load) is the worst-case draw; typical consumption at lower frequencies or reduced output load is lower. The standby function (pin 1 active-low) reduces the supply current to a few microamps, letting the system power down the clock when the interface is idle. The device ships as a blank (user-programmable) unit — the output frequency is configured at the factory per the customer's order code. The 5.0 mm x 3.2 mm x 0.9 mm footprint matches the standard 5032 SMD package, and the 6-pin land pattern is identical to the industry-standard oscillator layout used by many quartz and MEMS suppliers.
