Low-power MEMS oscillators

18 April 2018 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

The DSC6000 family of MEMS oscillators combine Microchip Technology’s low power consumption and ultra-small packages with exceptional frequency stability and jitter performance over temperature.

The single-output oscillators are excellent choices for use as clock references in small, battery-powered devices such as wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices in which small size, low power consumption and long-term reliability are paramount. They also meet the stringent mechanical durability and reliability requirements within Automotive Electronics Council standard Q100 (AEC-Q100), so they are well suited for under-hood applications as well.

The DSC6000 family consists of ultra-low power DSC60xx and a lower jitter version DSC61xx. They are available in ultra-small 1,6 x 1,2 mm and 2,0 x 1,6 mm packages. Other package sizes include 2,5 x 2,0 mm and 3,2 x 2,5 mm. They consume just 1,3 mA (typical) – less than half the current consumption of the lowest-power quartz-based oscillators. These packages are drop-in replacements for standard 4-pin CMOS quartz crystal oscillators.
