Product details
Overview
MAX7381AXR116+T from Maxim Integrated is a factory-trimmed 3-pin silicon oscillator delivering a precise 11MHz rail-to-rail square-wave clock output with ±2% initial accuracy, 5µs startup time, and ±100ppm/°C temperature drift-designed as a robust, vibration- and EMI-resistant replacement for ceramic resonators and crystal oscillators in microcontroller and UART clocking applications operating from 2.7V to 5.5V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX7381AXR116+T datasheet, MAX7381AXR116+T pinout, MAX7381AXR116+T application, or MAX7381AXR116+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC70-3 package, no-PLL architecture, 11MHz fixed frequency, -40°C to +125°C operational range, and compatibility with 3V/3.3V/5V systems without external load capacitors or biasing components.
Technical Context
The MAX7381AXR116+T implements a fully integrated BiCMOS oscillator core that generates frequency directly-without PLL multiplication or external timing components-ensuring deterministic startup and low jitter (180psP-P at 16MHz, scalable per frequency). Its push-pull CMOS output drives 1kΩ to GND or 500Ω to V+, delivering ±10mA drive strength with 5ns rise/fall times.
It operates across 2.7V–5.5V supply rails and maintains stable duty cycle (40%–60%) and frequency accuracy over temperature (-40°C to +125°C), with guaranteed functional operation from -55°C to +135°C. No high-impedance nodes exist, making it inherently resistant to EMI, humidity, and mechanical vibration-critical for automotive and appliance environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 11MHz nominal; factory-trimmed, no adjustment required-enables drop-in replacement of crystals/resonators in µC clock trees. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2% at +25°C; eliminates need for post-solder calibration or trimming circuits in production. |
| Temp Drift | ±100ppm/°C over -40°C to +125°C; ensures stable timing across automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
| Startup Time | 5µs; allows rapid system wake-up and synchronizes with µC reset timing without external delay circuitry. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V; supports direct interfacing with 3V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive | ±10mA push-pull; drives heavy capacitive loads (up to 100pF) and long traces without buffer stages. |
| Jitter (P-P) | 180psP-P at 16MHz (scalable); meets timing margin requirements for UART baud-rate generation and synchronous peripherals. |
Pinout & Package
MAX7381AXR116+T is housed in a space-saving 3-pin SC70-3 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 = V+, Pin 2 = CLOCK (push-pull CMOS output), Pin 3 = GND. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between V+ and GND, mounted adjacent to the device.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires local 0.1µF bypass to GND for PSRR integrity and noise immunity. |
| CLOCK | CMOS square-wave output | Push-pull, rail-to-rail, 50% typical duty cycle; directly interfaces µC/UART clock inputs without series termination or AC coupling. |
| GND | Reference ground | Low-impedance return path; must be connected to system ground plane with minimal trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components | Eliminates load capacitors, feedback resistors, and bias networks-reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. crystal-based solutions. |
| Vibration/EMI immunity | Zero high-impedance nodes and monolithic BiCMOS design prevent frequency shift or stoppage under mechanical shock or RF noise. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Ensures full logic swing across supply range, guaranteeing reliable clock edge detection by µC inputs regardless of V+ variation. |
| Wide temp range | -40°C to +125°C specification enables use in engine control units, smart meters, and white-goods motor controllers without derating. |
| Fast startup | 5µs stabilization enables immediate clock availability after power-on, simplifying reset sequencing in battery-powered handhelds. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar silicon oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiT1533AI-H4-33E-11.000000 | 11MHz MEMS oscillator; ±10ppm initial accuracy; 1.62–3.63V supply; 1.5µs startup; 2.0 × 1.2mm DFN. | Higher accuracy and lower power, but requires tighter layout control for ESD-sensitive MEMS element and lacks SC70 footprint compatibility. | Select when sub-50ppm total stability over temperature is mandatory and board space allows DFN placement. |
| ABM3B-11.000MHZ-B2-T | 11MHz fundamental-mode quartz crystal; ±20ppm tolerance; requires external load caps and Pierce oscillator circuit; 3.2 × 2.5mm SMD. | Lower cost per unit but adds two 12–22pF capacitors, increases layout complexity, and suffers from start-up delay (>10ms) and microphonic sensitivity. | Select only for legacy designs where crystal-based timing is mandated by qualification standards or existing schematic reuse. |
Compared with SiT1533AI-H4-33E-11.000000 and ABM3B-11.000MHZ-B2-T, MAX7381AXR116+T offers superior EMI/vibration resilience and simpler integration (no caps, no layout constraints), trading off initial accuracy for ruggedness and ease-of-use in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the exact output frequency of the MAX7381AXR116+T?
The MAX7381AXR116+T is factory-trimmed to deliver a nominal output frequency of 11.000MHz. This value is specified with ±2% initial accuracy at +25°C and remains stable across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range, with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The frequency is fixed and non-adjustable-no external components or programming are required to set or maintain it.
Does the MAX7381AXR116+T require external load capacitors like quartz crystals?
No, the MAX7381AXR116+T does not require any external load capacitors, feedback resistors, or biasing components. It is a fully integrated oscillator with an internal BiCMOS timing core and push-pull CMOS output stage. Unlike quartz crystals or ceramic resonators, the MAX7381AXR116+T operates as a self-contained clock source-only a 0.1µF bypass capacitor between V+ and GND is needed for power-supply decoupling.
Can the MAX7381AXR116+T operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX7381AXR116+T is fully specified to operate from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with standard 3.3V logic systems. At 3.3V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing, maintains 5µs startup time, and sustains ±2% initial accuracy and ±100ppm/°C temperature drift. Electrical characteristics-including output drive (±10mA), rise/fall time (5ns), and jitter-are guaranteed across this entire voltage range.
Is the MAX7381AXR116+T pin-compatible with other MAX7381 variants?
Yes, all MAX7381 variants-including MAX7381AXR106-T, MAX7381AXR126-T, MAX7381AXR146-T, and MAX7381AXR166-T-share identical SC70-3 packaging and pinout (V+, CLOCK, GND). The MAX7381AXR116+T is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with these parts on the same PCB footprint; only the output frequency differs (11MHz vs. 10/12/14/16MHz), so no layout changes are needed when selecting among them.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX7381AXR116+T can drive?
The MAX7381AXR116+T is characterized to drive up to 100pF load capacitance while maintaining 5ns rise/fall times and stable 40%–60% duty cycle. Its ±10mA push-pull output ensures signal integrity even with longer PCB traces or multiple fan-outs. For loads exceeding 100pF, Maxim recommends increasing the V+/GND bypass capacitor to ≥1000× the output-load capacitance (e.g., ≥100nF for 100pF load) to preserve startup behavior and jitter performance.
