DSC400
Low-Jitter, Configurable Quad Output Crystal-less™ Clock Generator
General Description
The DSC400 series of high performance quad
output crystal-less™ clock generator utilize a
proven silicon MEMS technology to provide
excellent
jitter
and
stability
while
incorporating additional device functionality.
The four outputs are controlled by separate
supply voltages to allow for high output
isolation. The frequencies of the outputs can
be identical or independently derived from a
common PLLs frequency sources.
The
DSC400 has provision for up to eight user-
defined
pre-programmed,
pin-selectable
output frequency combinations.
DSC400 is packaged in a 20-pin 5x3.2 mm
QFN package and available in temperature
grades from Ext. Commercial to Industrial.

DSC400 Low-Jitter, Configurable Quad Output Crystal-less™ Clock Generator
Operational Description
The DSC400 is a quad output clock generator consisting of a MEMS resonator and support PLLs IC.
The four outputs are generated through independent 8-bit programmable dividers with internal pre-
programmed memory (OTP).
Customers also have the option to access eight different combinations of frequencies through three
input select lines or through I2C. Discera supports customer defined versions of the DSC400.
Contact factory with your frequencies and output formats requirements:

Factory configuration code assignment
Table 1 lists the standard frequency configurations and the associated ordering information to be
used in conjunction with the ordering code. Customer defined combinations are available.
