Overview

The ASEM1-100.000MHZ-L-C-T is a high-performance 100 MHz MEMS oscillator housed in a compact 3.2 x 2.5 mm QFN package. It operates at 3.3V and provides a CMOS output with a frequency stability of +/-50ppm across an industrial temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. This component utilizes MEMS technology to offer high reliability and resistance to mechanical shock and vibration compared to traditional quartz crystal oscillators.

Why Choose This Part

This MEMS-based oscillator provides superior reliability with an MTBF significantly higher than quartz alternatives while maintaining a low profile 0.85 mm height. It consumes a maximum of only 15mA during operation and features a dedicated standby pin for efficient power management in low-power designs.

Applications

High-Speed Digital Clocking
Provides a stable 100 MHz reference for FPGAs, CPLDs, and high-performance microcontrollers requiring a precise CMOS clock signal.
Industrial Networking
Ideal for Ethernet switches and industrial automation equipment where vibration resistance and wide temperature operation are critical.
Portable Electronics
Utilizes a standby power-down function to conserve battery life in mobile or handheld devices when the clock is not required.

Getting Started

To implement this part, ensure a 0.1uF bypass capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VDD pin (Pin 4). The standby function is controlled via Pin 1; pulling this pin low will disable the output and significantly reduce current consumption. Verify that the 100 MHz CMOS output traces are kept short and impedance-matched to prevent signal integrity issues such as ringing or EMI.
