3-Pin Silicon Oscillator
General Description
Features
♦ 2.7V to 5.5V Operation
The MAX7381 is a silicon oscillator intended as a low-cost
improvement to ceramic resonators, crystals, and crystal
oscillator modules as the clock source for microcon-
trollers and UARTs in 3V, 3.3V, and 5V applications.
♦ Factory-Trimmed Oscillator (10MHz to 16MHz)
♦ No External Components Required
The MAX7381 is an integrated oscillator, supplied at spe-
cific frequencies, just like crystals and resonators, and
with a rail-to-rail, 50%, duty-cycle square-wave output.
The oscillator frequency is generated directly without the
use of a phase-locked loop (PLL). No additional compo-
nents are required for setting or adjusting the frequency.

♦ Fast Startup Time: 5µs
Unlike typical crystal and ceramic resonator oscillator cir-
cuits, the MAX7381 is resistant to vibration and EMI. The
high output-drive current and absence of high-imped-
ance nodes make the oscillator invulnerable to dirty or
humid operating conditions. With a wide operating tem-
perature range as standard, the oscillator is a good
choice for demanding appliance and automotive environ-
ments. The MAX7381 is available with frequencies in the
10MHz to 16MHz range.
♦ 40% to 60% Maximum ꢁuty Cycle
♦ 5ns Output RiseꢃFall Time
♦ Very-Low-EMI Susceptibility (No High-Impedance
Nodes)
♦ No PLL
♦ Low Jitter: 180ps

♦ -40/C to +125/C Temperature Range
The MAX7381 is offered in a space-saving 3-pin SC70
package. All ICs are guaranteed to operate over the
-55°C to +135°C temperature range and specified from
the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

The MAX7381 is available in factory-set frequencies from
10MHz to 16MHz. There are four standard versions 10MHz,
12MHz, 14MHz, and 16MHz, shown in the Selector Guide) with
a required order increment of 2.5K. Nonstandard frequencies
are also available with a required order increment of 10K. For
nonstandard versions, contact factory for availability and
ordering information. All versions are available in tape and reel
only.
