Overview

The ASEM1-8.000MHZ-LC-T is a high-performance CMOS MEMS oscillator that provides an 8.000 MHz frequency output. This 4-pin device is housed in a compact 3.2 x 2.5 mm QFN package and offers high stability with 50ppm frequency tolerance. It is designed to replace traditional quartz crystal resonators and oscillators in space-constrained embedded systems.

Why Choose This Part

This MEMS-based oscillator offers superior shock and vibration resistance compared to standard quartz crystals. It supports a wide temperature range from -40C to +85C and eliminates the need for external load capacitors, simplifying the PCB layout and reducing component count.

Applications

Microcontroller Clocking
Provides a stable 8 MHz system clock for low-to-mid range MCUs requiring precise timing for UART and SPI communications.
Industrial Control Systems
Reliable clock source for PLCs and industrial sensors operating in high-vibration environments where MEMS technology excels over quartz.
Compact Wearables
Utilizes the small 3.2 x 2.5 mm footprint to save PCB area in portable electronic devices.

Getting Started

Integrating this oscillator requires a stable 3.3V supply and a 0.1uF bypass capacitor placed close to the VDD pin. The output can directly drive CMOS-compatible clock inputs on microcontrollers or FPGAs. No external tuning or load capacitors are necessary for operation.
