Product details
Overview
MAX7381AXR136+ from Maxim Integrated is a factory-trimmed 13MHz silicon oscillator in SC70-3 package, delivering rail-to-rail 50% duty-cycle square-wave output for microcontroller and UART clocking in 2.7V–5.5V systems. It features ±2% initial frequency accuracy, 5µs startup time, ±10mA drive capability, and operates across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX7381AXR136+ datasheet, MAX7381AXR136+ pinout, MAX7381AXR136+ application, or MAX7381AXR136+ equivalent, key selection criteria include vibration/EMI immunity, no external components required, low jitter (180psP-P at 16MHz), and compatibility with ceramic resonator/crystal replacement in automotive and appliance designs.
Technical Context
The MAX7381AXR136+ is a direct-replacement silicon oscillator that generates 13MHz without PLL or external load capacitors. Its push-pull CMOS output drives 1kΩ to GND or 500Ω to V+, with stable timing over supply voltage (2.7V–5.5V) and temperature (–40°C to +125°C).
It eliminates high-impedance nodes found in crystal-based oscillators, making it inherently resistant to EMI, mechanical vibration, and humidity. Startup occurs within 5µs after V+ exceeds 1.65V, and output rise/fall times are each ≤5ns with CL = 10pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 13MHz nominal - factory-trimmed, no adjustment needed; replaces discrete crystal + load caps. |
| Initial Accuracy | ±2% at +25°C - enables reliable boot timing without calibration in MCU systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports 3V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive | ±10mA - directly drives MCU clock inputs and small capacitive loads (≤100pF) without buffer. |
| Startup Time | 5µs - ensures rapid system initialization; reset circuitry must delay enable by ≥20µs after V+ > 2.7V. |
| Jitter (16MHz ref) | 180psP-P over 20s - low phase noise suitable for UART baud rate generation and synchronous peripherals. |
| Temp Drift | ±100ppm/°C - predictable frequency shift across industrial temp range; no thermal compensation required. |
Pinout & Package
MAX7381AXR136+ is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 surface-mount package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm), with exposed pad not connected. Requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between V+ and GND, placed adjacent to the device.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; must be decoupled locally to suppress supply noise affecting frequency stability. |
| 2 - CLOCK | CMOS push-pull clock output | Directly interfaces to µC/UART clock input; no series resistor or termination required; drives 1kΩ to GND or 500Ω to V+. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | 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 required by crystals/resonators - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Vibration/EMI immunity | Robust operation in harsh environments (e.g., engine bays, washing machines) due to solid-state design and absence of high-Z nodes. |
| Rail-to-rail 50% duty cycle | Ensures balanced high/low time for symmetric timing in synchronous logic and ADC sampling clocks. |
| Fast 5µs startup | Enables rapid wake-up from low-power states; compatible with short watchdog timeout windows. |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Guaranteed performance across full industrial/automotive ambient range without derating. |

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-13.000000 | MEMS-based; ±10ppm initial accuracy; 1.62V–3.63V supply; 1.2µA standby current | Better accuracy and lower power, but requires external 3.3V LDO and lacks ±10mA drive strength | Select when ultra-low power and tight frequency tolerance are prioritized over drive capability and supply flexibility. |
| DS1086L-13.0 | Tri-tempo oscillator; ±0.5% accuracy; 4.5V–5.5V only; 10mA drive; 10ms startup | Narrower supply range and slower startup; designed for legacy 5V-only systems | Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing 5V designs where 10ms startup is acceptable and 13MHz is pre-validated. |
Compared with SiT1533AI-H4-33E-13.000000 and DS1086L-13.0, the MAX7381AXR136+ offers broader supply range (2.7V–5.5V), faster startup (5µs vs. 10ms), higher drive (±10mA), and proven EMI/vibration resilience - making it optimal for new industrial and automotive MCU clocking where robustness and flexibility outweigh ultra-fine accuracy needs.

FAQ
What is the exact output frequency of the MAX7381AXR136+?
The MAX7381AXR136+ is factory-trimmed to 13.000000MHz nominal frequency. Initial accuracy is ±2% at +25°C, and frequency drift is bounded by ±100ppm/°C over –40°C to +125°C. No external tuning or calibration is required - the MAX7381AXR136+ delivers stable 13MHz output directly from power-on.
Does the MAX7381AXR136+ require external load capacitors like a crystal?
No, the MAX7381AXR136+ does not require external load capacitors or biasing components. It is a fully integrated oscillator with internal timing elements. Unlike quartz crystals, the MAX7381AXR136+ uses a silicon-based oscillator core and outputs a CMOS-compatible square wave directly - eliminating matching capacitors, feedback resistors, and associated PCB layout constraints.
Can the MAX7381AXR136+ drive a microcontroller clock input directly?
Yes, the MAX7381AXR136+ CLOCK pin provides a rail-to-rail CMOS push-pull output capable of driving standard µC clock inputs without series termination or level translation. It delivers ±10mA drive strength and maintains 40%–60% duty cycle across voltage and temperature - ensuring reliable edge detection and timing margin for devices like STM32, PIC, or Renesas RL78 MCUs.
What is the startup behavior of the MAX7381AXR136+?
The MAX7381AXR136+ achieves stable oscillation within 5µs after V+ rises above ~1.65V at +25°C. For reliable system reset, a voltage supervisor must hold downstream logic in reset until at least 20µs after V+ exceeds 2.7V. This ensures full internal biasing and output stabilization before clock-dependent peripherals begin operation - a critical timing requirement for the MAX7381AXR136+.
Is the MAX7381AXR136+ suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX7381AXR136+ is qualified for automotive use with guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C and functional specification over –55°C to +135°C. Its solid-state silicon oscillator architecture provides inherent immunity to mechanical vibration and EMI - validated in engine control units and body electronics where quartz crystals exhibit microphonic sensitivity or frequency shifts under shock.
