DESCRIPTION
The TS3001 is a single-supply CMOS oscillator fully
specified to operate at 1V while consuming a 1µA
supply current at an output frequency of 25kHz. This
oscillator is compact, easy-to-use, and versatile.
Optimized for ultra-long life, battery-powered
applications, the TS3001 joins the TS3002 CMOS
oscillator in the “NanoWatt Analog™” high-
performance analog integrated circuits portfolio. The
TS3001 can operate from single-supply voltages from
0.9V to 1.8V.
Requiring only a resistor to set the output frequency,
the TS3001 represents a 66% reduction in pcb area
and a factor-of-10 reduction in power consumption
over other CMOS-based integrated circuit oscillators.
When compared against industry-standard 555-timer-
based products, the TS3001 offers up to 93%
reduction in pcb area and four orders of magnitude
lower power consumption.
The TS3001 is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range and is available in a low-profile, 8-
pin 2x2mm TDFN package with an exposed back-
side paddle.

Electrical and thermal stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other condition beyond those indicated in the operational sections
of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability and
lifetime.
