Product details
Overview
MAX7381AXR136+T 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 offers ±2% initial frequency accuracy, -40°C to +125°C operation, 5µs startup time, and ±100ppm/°C temperature drift-designed as a vibration- and EMI-resistant replacement for ceramic resonators and crystals in automotive and appliance control units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX7381AXR136+T datasheet, MAX7381AXR136+T pinout, MAX7381AXR136+T application, or MAX7381AXR136+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-PLL architecture, 13MHz fixed-frequency output, SC70-3 footprint compatibility, push-pull CMOS drive capability, and guaranteed operation across extended industrial temperature range without external load capacitors.
Technical Context
The MAX7381AXR136+T implements a direct silicon-based oscillator core without phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry, generating stable 13MHz output via BiCMOS process. Its push-pull output stage drives 1kΩ to ground or 500Ω to V+, eliminating high-impedance nodes and ensuring immunity to humidity, vibration, and EMI.
Frequency stability is maintained across 2.7V–5.5V supply and -40°C to +125°C ambient, with 180psP-P jitter at 16MHz (scalable), 5ns rise/fall times, and 40–60% duty cycle tolerance over voltage and temperature-enabling drop-in replacement of quartz-based timing sources in noise-sensitive embedded systems.

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; 1.62–3.63V supply; 1.54mm × 0.84mm DFN | Narrower supply range; tighter accuracy but higher cost; requires different PCB footprint | Select when ultra-high stability and miniaturization outweigh cost and design change effort |

FAQ
What is the exact output frequency of the MAX7381AXR136+T?
The MAX7381AXR136+T is factory-trimmed to a nominal output frequency of 13.000MHz. This value is specified in the Ordering Information table and confirmed in the Selector Guide; it does not require external calibration or adjustment. The device maintains this frequency across its full operating supply (2.7V–5.5V) and temperature (-40°C to +125°C) ranges, with ±2% initial accuracy and ±100ppm/°C drift.
Does the MAX7381AXR136+T require external load capacitors or biasing components?
No, the MAX7381AXR136+T requires zero external components. Unlike quartz crystals or ceramic resonators, it integrates all oscillator circuitry on-die and delivers a push-pull CMOS output capable of directly driving microcontroller clock inputs. The only recommended external component is a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between V+ and GND for power-supply decoupling-explicitly stated in the Pin Description and Power-Supply Considerations sections of the datasheet.
What is the startup time specification for the MAX7381AXR136+T?
The MAX7381AXR136+T achieves stable oscillation within 5µs after V+ rises above the functional threshold (~1.65V at +25°C). This value is guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Startup Time" and verified in the Typical Operating Characteristics figure toc08. It enables rapid system initialization in portable and battery-powered applications where boot latency must be minimized.
Can the MAX7381AXR136+T operate in automotive under-hood environments?
Yes, the MAX7381AXR136+T is qualified for automotive under-hood use. It is specified from -40°C to +125°C and guaranteed to function from -55°C to +135°C. Its silicon oscillator architecture provides inherent resistance to vibration, shock, and EMI-key failure modes for quartz crystals in engine compartments. The device meets reliability requirements for automotive control modules as documented in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications sections.
Is the MAX7381AXR136+T pin-compatible with other MAX7381 variants like MAX7381AXR126-T or MAX7381AXR166-T?
Yes, all MAX7381 variants-including MAX7381AXR136+T, MAX7381AXR126-T, and MAX7381AXR166-T-share identical SC70-3 package, pinout (V+, CLOCK, GND), and electrical interface. They differ only in factory-set output frequency (12MHz, 13MHz, 16MHz) and top-mark codes (APG, APE, APH). No PCB redesign is needed when substituting between these variants, provided system timing margins accommodate the frequency change.
