A single BOM line covers multiple frequency variants: instead of stocking a separate fixed-frequency can for every clock speed, you program the same part number to the exact frequency needed per board revision or product variant. The supply voltage range spans 2.25 V to 3.6 V, so it runs directly off a 3.3 V or 2.5 V rail without an extra LDO — handy when you're consolidating power domains on a mixed-voltage board. ## Standby function and CMOS output A standby (power-down) pin lets you shut the oscillator off when the system sleeps — the 35 mA max supply current drops to near zero in standby, saving power in battery-operated or duty-cycled designs. CMOS output levels are compatible with most MCU, FPGA, and logic inputs without external level translation, as long as the supply voltage matches the receiving device's I/O bank.","metaTitle":"DSC1101CL3-PROGT MEMS Oscillator – Programmable 2.3–170 MHz","metaDescription":"Active Microchip DSC1101CL3-PROGT: blank-programmable MEMS XO, 2.3–170 MHz, CMOS output, 2.25–3.6 V supply, -40°C to 105°C, 6-VDFN.

You program the output frequency using Microchip's TimeFlash field programmer or a compatible programming fixture. Some distributors also offer a pre-programming service — confirm at RFQ if you need programmed parts rather than blanks."},{"question":"Is the DSC1101CL3-PROGT a drop-in replacement for a fixed-frequency quartz oscillator?","answer":"It can replace a fixed-frequency oscillator in the same 6-VDFN footprint (3.20 mm x 2.50 mm, 0.90 mm seated height) if the supply voltage, output type (CMOS), and frequency stability (±20 ppm total) match your existing design. The key difference: you must program the frequency before assembly, whereas a fixed-frequency can is ready out of the tube."},{"question":"What is the frequency stability of the DSC1101CL3-PROGT?","answer":"This is tight enough for most MCU clocking, UART baud-rate generation, and general-purpose timing — but not for precision RF or wireless base-station references that require ±5 ppm or better."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/DSC1101CL3-PROGT","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/DSC1101CL3-PROGT when reusing this data.
