LS1012A EXTAL: Using a Mems oscillator instead of a Crystal?

[joseph_lindula]

Hello, my next hardware design will be in a high vibration environment in which case a crystal oscillator would not be a good fit. Instead, I would like to use a Mems oscillator. Is there any application notes, reference material, or comments on using a Mems clock instead of a crystal?

Thank you,

Joe

Have a great day,

I believe that there is not application note on using a Mems clock for the LS1012A. All four LS1012A reference boards I have checked use crystal. For sure you can use any clock oscillator which generates 25MHz single-ended square wave and satisfies Input DC and AC specifications for external clock oscillator/generator in the LS1012A datasheet. So I think it  is better to ask Mems based oscillator producers if there is suitable one.
