You program the output frequency after procurement, which means one line item can serve multiple clock rates across a design — useful when a single PCB variant ships with different processor speeds or interface bit rates. ## Supply voltage tolerance and standby function Operates from 2.25 V to 3.63 V supply — compatible with 2.5 V, 3.0 V, and 3.3 V logic rails without a separate level translator. Housed in a 6-VDFN package measuring 3.20 mm x 2.50 mm with a seated height of 0.90 mm. Surface-mount assembly with standard reflow; no underfill needed for typical industrial vibration levels.","metaTitle":"DSC1200CL3-PROG Programmable MEMS Oscillator – 2.5 MHz to","metaDescription":"Active Microchip DSC1200CL3-PROG XO (Standard) MEMS oscillator, blank programmable, 2.5–450 MHz, ±20 ppm, -40 to 105°C, 6-VDFN.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Crystals & Oscillators"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Microchip Technology","Type":"XO (Standard)","Output":"-","Series":"DSC1200","Package":"Tube","Ratings":"-","Function":"Standby (Power Down)","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Base Resonator":"MEMS","Package / Case":"6-VDFN","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Size / Dimension":"0.126\\\" L x 0.098\\\" W (3.20mm x 2.50mm)","Voltage - Supply":"2.25V ~ 3.63V","Programmable Type":"Blank (User Must Program)","Base Product Number":"DSC1200","Frequency Stability":"-","Height - Seated (Max)":"0.035\\\" (0.90mm)","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~105°C","Current - Supply (Max)":"-","Available Frequency Range":"2.5 MHz ~ 450 MHz","Spread Spectrum Bandwidth":"-","Frequency Stability (Total)":"±20ppm"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.5050","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/036f19405d52ddd28803e2d03070c394.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How do I program the DSC1200CL3-PROG?","answer":"The DSC1200CL3-PROG is shipped blank — you must program the output frequency using Microchip's TimeFlash field programming kit or a compatible in-system programmer. Microchip provides a free software tool (TimeFlash GUI) that generates the programming file; the programming itself takes a few seconds per device. Plan for a programming step in your assembly flow."},{"question":"Can DSC1200CL3-PROG replace a fixed-frequency oscillator?","answer":"Yes, if the fixed oscillator is a standard 2.5 V to 3.63 V MEMS or quartz XO in a 6-VDFN or compatible footprint. The DSC1200CL3-PROG can be programmed to any frequency within 2.5 MHz to 450 MHz, so it can replace multiple fixed-frequency parts with one programmable SKU. Verify the output drive strength and load capacitance match the downstream receiver's input threshold."},{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative in the DSC1200 family?","answer":"Within the DSC1200 series, the pre-programmed fixed-frequency variants (e.g., DSC1200CL3-xxx.xxxx) share the same 6-VDFN package and pinout. The difference is that those ship with a factory-set frequency, while the PROG version is blank. If you need a drop-in replacement without programming, order the fixed-frequency variant at your target frequency."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/microchip/DSC1200CL3-PROG","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/microchip/DSC1200CL3-PROG when reusing this data.
