Microchip introduced the smallest package and ultra-low power technology as one MEMS oscillator

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of integrated microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and flash memory solutions, today announced the DSC6000 family of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) oscillators. This new product line reflects industry-leading technology, not only members of the industry's smallest MEMS MHz-class oscillator, power consumption is the industry's lowest, and can be 2KHz to 100 MHz range of free choice of frequency.

Devices such as wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) devices are extremely demanding in terms of small size, low power consumption and long-term reliability, and the DSC6000 MEMS Oscillator family is designed for this purpose. Class mini-battery-powered equipment, an excellent choice for the reference clock. At the same time, the new devices also meet the automotive electronics committee to develop AEC-Q100 standards to meet the mechanical durability and reliability of the stringent requirements, is ideal for a variety of engine room applications.

Microchip's DSC6000 series oscillators are available in a variety of industry-standard 4-pin DFN packages, with dimensions up to 1.6 x 1.2 mm, up to 7 x 5 mm, and operating current of only 1.3 mA (typical) - Less than half the current consumption of the lowest power quartz oscillator. The maximum operating temperature range for the new device is -40 ° C to + 85 ° C, with a maximum drift of +/- 25 ppm in this range. Compared with quartz oscillators, they can withstand 500 times more impact, more than 5 times the vibration, in most of the work environment can ensure rock-solid stability.

"MEMS oscillators have significant advantages over traditional quartz oscillators, especially for applications requiring small size, light weight, low power consumption and accurate timing," said Rami Kanama, vice president of timing and communications at Microchip. The new DSC6000 family of devices is Microchip's industry's most complete MEMS-based timing solution that not only enriches the company's family of MEMS oscillators and MEMS clock generators, but also delivers superior performance in a miniature package with a first-class technology The combination of power consumption and high performance is the best choice for IoT and mobile applications.

Microchip's ClockWorks ™ online configuration tool allows designers to easily select the most suitable oscillator based on frequency, package size, ppm, and temperature range, and to request a free sample of the oscillator. In addition, designers can use the TimeFlash field programming toolkit to program a one-time programmable (OTP) memory in a blank DSC6000 device for instantaneous frequency generation.
