The operating temperature range spans -40°C to 125°C, covering the full automotive temperature grade 1 envelope. A cold-crank at -30°C and a summer engine bay at 105°C both sit inside the rated window with margin. ## Blank-programmable frequency flexibility This is a blank (user-programmable) device, not a pre-programmed fixed-frequency oscillator. You program the output frequency anywhere in the 3.5 kHz to 100 MHz range using Microchip's programming toolchain. For a 100 MHz clock, that is ±2 kHz of absolute jitter budget — tight enough for a CAN-FD or 100BASE-T1 PHY reference, but not tight enough for a precision GPS PPS holdover. ## Supply rail and power budget The typical supply current is 3 mA — at 3.3 V that is 10 mW of oscillator power, negligible in a 5 W ECU but worth noting in a battery-powered sensor module that sleeps 99% of the time. This is the standard way to save standby power without losing the PLL lock time. Surface-mount mounting — the VFLGA pads are on the bottom face. A hot-air rework station with a 5 mm nozzle at 300°C for 15 seconds lifts the part cleanly; the solder mask on the board should have a 0.20 mm solder-mask-defined pad to match the LGA land pattern. ## Sourcing and lifecycle posture Sourced through authorized distribution and independent channels. No minimum order quantity applies — single-reel quantities are typical for prototype builds.","metaTitle":"Microchip DSC6101MA3B-PROG MEMS XO, CMOS, AEC-Q100","metaDescription":"Microchip DSC6101MA3B-PROG MEMS XO, CMOS output, AEC-Q100, -40°C to 125°C, 3.5 kHz to 100 MHz, ±20ppm.

The pre-programmed fixed-frequency siblings (DSC6101xx-xxxx) share the same 4-VFLGA package, pinout, and AEC-Q100 qualification. The difference is that this part requires programming before use; the fixed-frequency parts come ready to solder.
