The DSC613 family supports up to three clock outputs from 2 kilohertz (kHz) to 100 megahertz (MHz), making it ideal for microcontroller-based embedded systems. In an IoT application, for example, the clock generator can be used to provide a MHz main reference clock and 32.768 kHz Real-Time Clock (RTC) for the microcontroller (MCU), as well as another MHz clock for functions such as connectivity and sensors. The DSC613 family includes two low-power fractional PLLs with AnyRate® clock synthesizers, which enable the device to generate any frequency between 2 kHz and 100 MHz. At approximately five milliamps (mA) power consumption with three outputs running, the family provides up to 45 percent power savings when compared to a solution that uses three low-power quartz oscillators. For additional power savings, the clock output can be turned off through the output enable pin.
 
MEMS products are built entirely with standard semiconductor processes, providing the same reliability and stability as integrated circuits, and the devices support up to -40 to +125 degrees Celsius temperature range with a stability of ± 20ppm. All products are backed by Microchip’s customer-driven obsolescence practice that ensures that devices will be available for as long as customers need them.
The DSC613 family is supported by Microchip’s ClockWorks® online configurator tool. Customers can enter a clock configuration and receive a customised part number and datasheet, as well as order free samples at clockworks.microchip.com/timing.
 
Clock configuration includes output frequency, control pin function, package size, PPM accuracy and temperature range. Up to three output drive strengths are available based on the custom board loading condition. Spread-spectrum clocks are also available for EMI reduction. Application support, including board layout guidelines and schematics review, is also available.

The DSC613 family is available now for sampling and in volume production.
