DSC8002 Series

1.8 to 3.3V

Programmable Low-Power CMOS Oscillator

MK-Q-B-P-D-031809-06-6

General Description

The DSC8002 is a programmable MEMS based

PureSilicon™ Oscillator. Using the DragonFly™

or TimeFlash™ handheld programmer, the end

user can program the DSC8002 within seconds

to any frequency from 1 to 150MHz in

increments of 100Hz (up to four decimal point

resolution).

The nominal operational range

spans from 1.8 to 3.3 Volts, without any need

for additional external components, providing

ease of use and flexibility in multi-voltage

applications.

The

DSC8002

incorporates

an

all

silicon

resonator that is extremely robust and nearly

immune to stress related fractures, common to

crystal based oscillators. Without sacrificing the

performance and stability required of today’s

systems, a crystal-less design allows for a

higher level of reliability, making the DSC8002

ideal for rugged, industrial, and portable

applications where stress, shock, and vibration

can damage quartz crystal based systems.

Available in industry standard packages, the

DSC8002 can be “dropped-in” to the same PCB

footprint as standard crystal oscillators.
