Overview

The DSC1001DI2-024.0000T is a 24 MHz MEMS-based CMOS oscillator designed for high reliability and low power consumption. Unlike traditional quartz-based oscillators, this MEMS device offers superior shock and vibration resistance in a compact 2.50mm x 2.00mm 4-VDFN package. It operates across a wide supply voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V and features a standby function for power-down modes.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is its MEMS architecture, which eliminates the common startup issues and mechanical fragilities associated with quartz crystals. It maintains a frequency stability of +/-25ppm over an industrial temperature range of -40C to +85C. Its small VDFN footprint and wide 1.7V to 3.6V supply range simplify integration into modern low-voltage digital systems.

Applications

Microcontroller Clocking
Provides a stable 24 MHz reference for 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs in cost-sensitive industrial designs.
Battery-Powered Electronics
Leverages the standby power-down mode and low operating current to extend battery life in portable devices.
Industrial Automation
Utilizes MEMS technology to maintain timing accuracy in high-vibration environments like motor controllers.
Consumer Imaging
Functions as a master clock for image sensors and digital cameras requiring a stable 24 MHz CMOS output.

Getting Started

To integrate this part, ensure a 0.1uF bypass capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VDD pin. The standby pin (Pin 1) should be pulled high for normal operation or low to enter a low-power state. For rapid prototyping, look for Microchip's DSC1001 evaluation boards or use a generic 2520 breakout PCB.
