DSC613NI3A-0105

Overview

The DSC613NI3A-0105 is a three-output MEMS clock generator from Microchip Technology, designed to replace discrete crystals and oscillators. It features a compact VFLGA-6 package measuring 2.0x1.6mm with six leads. The device supports configurable output frequencies including 25MHz, 12MHz, and 32.768kHz, all utilizing LVCMOS output levels. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.3V and maintains a frequency stability of 20ppm over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent clock outputs into a single ultra-compact MEMS module
• Provides industry-standard LVCMOS signal compatibility for direct interface with digital logic
• Offers significant board space reduction by replacing multiple discrete timing components

Applications

• IoT devices requiring minimal footprint timing solutions
• Portable consumer electronics with strict size constraints
• Industrial control systems needing reliable clock generation across wide temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' or absence thereof against the official datasheet to confirm packaging media, as tape-and-reel versus bulk packing affects handling procedures. Ensure the operating temperature grade matches the application requirements, as variations exist between commercial and industrial ratings. Cross-reference the pinout diagram with the PCB layout to confirm correct orientation for the VFLGA-6 package.

Selection Notes

Choose this component when board real estate is limited and multiple clock domains are required. It is suitable for designs needing precise frequency synthesis without external resonators. Consider the LVCMOS output swing requirements of the downstream circuitry. Evaluate the power consumption benefits compared to traditional quartz oscillator solutions for battery-operated applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the DSC613 family, which represents Microchip's smallest MEMS clock generators. The series is engineered to consolidate timing functions, reducing bill-of-materials complexity. It serves as a drop-in replacement for various crystal and oscillator combinations in modern embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other DSC613 variants with different output configurations or frequency options. Verify package dimensions and pin assignments before swapping with similar MEMS clock generators from competing manufacturers to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
