Overview

The ASEMB-50.000MHZ-LC-T is a 50 MHz MEMS-based CMOS oscillator designed for reliable clock generation in a compact 3.2mm x 2.5mm package. It supports a flexible supply voltage range from 1.8V to 3.3V and features a standby power-down mode to conserve energy in battery-sensitive designs. Utilizing MEMS technology, this oscillator provides high immunity to mechanical shock and vibration compared to traditional quartz-based solutions.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the MEMS resonator technology, which offers superior reliability and resistance to physical stress in a standard 4-SMD package. Its wide 1.8V to 3.3V operating range simplifies BOM management by allowing the same part to be used across different power rails, while the standby mode reduces current draw during idle states.

Applications

Microcontroller Clocking
Providing a stable 50 MHz reference for high-speed MCUs and digital signal processors.
Consumer Electronics
Ideal for portable devices requiring a small footprint and low power consumption through standby functionality.
Industrial Automation
Used in harsh environments where the mechanical robustness of a MEMS resonator is preferred over quartz.

Getting Started

To integrate this oscillator, ensure a 0.1uF bypass capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VDD pin. The output is a standard CMOS signal, making it directly compatible with most logic inputs; keep the trace length short to minimize electromagnetic interference and signal degradation. Evaluation can be performed by soldering the 3.2x2.5mm package onto a standard breakout board or a custom prototype PCB.
