Notes:
1. No board level underfill. Measured as peak-to-peak/2. Inclusive of 3x-reflow and ±20% load variation. Tested with Agilent 53132A frequency counter. Due to the
low operating frequency, the gate time must be ≥100 ms to ensure an accurate frequency measurement.
2. Initial offset is defined as the frequency deviation from the ideal 32.768 kHz at room temperature, post reflow.
3. Core operating current does not include output driver operating current or load current. To derive total operating current (no load), add core operating current +
output driver operating current, which is a function of the output voltage swing. See the description titled,
Calculating Load Current.

Functionality
Connect to ground. All GND pins must be connected to power supply ground. The GND pins
can be connected together, as long as both GND pins are connected ground.
Oscillator clock output. When interfacing to an MCU’s XTAL, the CLK Out is typically
connected to the receiving IC’s X IN pin. The SiT1552 oscillator output includes an internal
driver. As a result, the output swing and operation is not dependent on capacitive loading.
This makes the output much more flexible, layout independent, and robust under changing
environmental and manufacturing conditions.
Connect to power supply 1.5V ≤ Vdd ≤ 3.63V. Under normal operating conditions, Vdd does
not require external bypass/decoupling capacitor(s). For more information about the internal
power-supply filtering, see

SiT1552
Description
Smallest (1.2mm
2
), Ultra-Low Power, 32.768 kHz MEMS TCXO
The Smart Timing Choice
The Smart Timing Choice
Start-up and Steady-State Supply Current
The SiT1552 TCXO starts-up to a valid output frequency
within 300 ms (180 ms typ). To ensure the device starts-up
within the specified limit, make sure the power-supply
ramps-up in approximately 10 - 20 ms (to within 90% of Vdd).
During initial power-up, the SiT1552 power-cycles internal
blocks, as shown in the power-supply start-up and steady
state plot in the
Typical Operating Curves
section. Power-up
and initialization is typically 200 ms, and during that time, the
peak supply current reaches 28 µA as the internal capacitors
are charged, then sequentially drops to its 990 nA
steady-state current. During steady-state operation, the
internal temperature compensation circuit turns on every 350
ms for a duration of approximately 10 ms.
The SiT1552 is an ultra-small and ultra-low power 32.768 kHz
TCXO optimized for battery-powered applications. SiTime’s
silicon MEMS technology enables the first 32 kHz TCXO in the
world’s smallest footprint and chip-scale packaging (CSP).
Typical core supply current is only 1 µA. And unlike standard
oscillators, the SiT1552 features NanoDrive™, a factory
programmable output that reduces the voltage swing to
minimize power.
SiTime’s MEMS oscillators consist of MEMS resonators and
a programmable analog circuit. Our MEMS resonators are
built with SiTime’s unique MEMS First™ process. A key
manufacturing step is EpiSeal™ during which the MEMS
resonator is annealed with temperatures over 1000°C.
EpiSeal creates an extremely strong, clean, vacuum chamber
that encapsulates the MEMS resonator and ensures the best
performance and reliability. During EpiSeal, a poly silicon cap
is grown on top of the resonator cavity, which eliminates the
need for additional cap wafers or other exotic packaging. As
a result, SiTime’s MEMS resonator die can be used like any
other semiconductor die. One unique result of SiTime’s
MEMS First and EpiSeal manufacturing processes is the
capability to integrate SiTime’s MEMS die with a SOC, ASIC,
microprocessor or analog die within a package to eliminate
external timing components and provide a highly integrated,
smaller, cheaper solution to the customer.
Output Voltage
The SiT1552 has two output voltage options. One option is a
standard LVCMOS output swing. The second option is the
NanoDrive reduced swing output. Output swing is customer
specific and Factory programmed between 200 mV and 800
mV. For DC-coupled applications, output V
OH
and V
OL
are
individually factory programmed to the customers’
requirement. V
OH
programming range is between 600 mV and
1.225V in 100 mV increments. Similarly, V
OL
programming
range is between 350 mV and 800 mV. For example; a PMIC
or MCU is internally 1.8V logic compatible, and requires a
1.2V V
IH
and a 0.6V V
IL
. Simply select SiT1552 NanoDrive
factory programming code to be “D14” and the correct output
thresholds will match the downstream PMIC or MCU input
requirements. Interface logic will vary by manufacturer and we
recommend that you review the input voltage requirements for
the input interface.
For DC-biased NanoDrive output configuration, the minimum
V
OL
is limited to 350mV and the maximum allowable swing
(V
OH
- V
OL
) is 750mV. For example, 1.1V V
OH
and 400mV V
OL
is acceptable, but 1.2V V
OH
and 400 mV V
OL
is not
acceptable.
When the output is interfacing to an XTAL input that is inter-
nally AC-coupled, the SiT1552 output can be Factory
programmed to match the input swing requirements. For
example, if a PMIC or MCU input is internally AC-coupled and
requires an 800mV swing, then simply choose the SiT1552
NanoDrive programming code “AA8” in the part number. It is
important to note that the SiT1552 does not include internal
AC-coupling capacitors. Please see the
Part Number
Ordering
section at the end of the datasheet for more infor-
mation about the part number ordering scheme.
TCXO Frequency Stability
The SiT1552 is factory calibrated (trimmed) over multiple
temperature points to guarantee extremely tight stability over
temperature. Unlike quartz crystals that have a classic tuning
fork parabola temperature curve with a 25°C turnover point
with a 0.04 ppm/C
2
temperature coefficient, the SiT1552
temperature coefficient is calibrated and corrected over
temperature with an active temperature correction circuit. The
result is 32 kHz TCXO with extremely tight frequency variation
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Contact SiTime
for applications that require a wider supply voltage range
>3.63V, or lower operating frequency below 32 kHz.
When measuring the SiT1552 output frequency with a
frequency counter, it is important to make sure the counter's
gate time is >100 ms. The slow frequency of a 32kHz clock
will give false readings with faster gate times.
Power Supply Noise Immunity
In addition to eliminating external output load capacitors
common with standard XTALs, this device includes special
power supply filtering and thus, eliminates the need for an
external Vdd bypass-decoupling capacitor to keep the
footprint as small as possible. Internal power supply filtering
is designed to reject more than ±150 mV noise and frequency
components from low frequency to more than 10 MHz.
