Overview

The ASEM1-80.000MHZ-L-C-T is a high-performance 80MHz MEMS oscillator housed in a compact 3.2 x 2.5 mm SMD package. It utilizes silicon MEMS technology to provide a robust timing source that is highly resistant to mechanical shock and vibration compared to traditional quartz crystals. This device operates at a nominal 3.3V supply and maintains a frequency stability of 50ppm across an industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C.

Why Choose This Part

MEMS technology offers superior reliability with a MTBF significantly higher than quartz-based alternatives. The device eliminates the need for external load capacitors and is less susceptible to EMI, simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count. Its wide operating temperature range and 50ppm tolerance ensure consistent performance in harsh environments.

Applications

High-Speed Microcontrollers
Provides a stable external clock source for MCUs and DSPs requiring high-speed execution without the risk of quartz crystal mechanical failure.
Industrial Automation
Reliable timing in high-vibration environments such as motor controllers and robotic arm sensors.
Communication Interfaces
Serves as a reference clock for Ethernet, USB, and serial communication peripherals requiring an 80MHz frequency.
Consumer Electronics
Low-profile 0.9mm height makes it suitable for space-constrained portable devices.

Getting Started

Integrating this oscillator requires a standard 3.3V supply and a 0.1uF bypass capacitor placed close to the VDD pin. Since it is a self-contained active oscillator, no external load capacitors are needed; simply connect the output directly to the target IC's clock input. Ensure the PCB traces are kept short to maintain signal integrity at 80MHz.
